...hoping to cause their state to lose representation in the House. It's a thing. Has anyone heard about this?
I've seen more than a few comments on this from Progs on political talk boards.
Dems in Alabama are actually hoping by not participating, their own state will lose representation in the House.

No clue, but someone has left a flyer about the census 4 times in the past 10 days. I am thinking of complaining to the local cops about it. thats damn near harassment.

The idiocy there is fewer districts means the minority vote is watered down even more.

If most of your state is red with only a central blue area, then that blue area is gonna be less blue with redistricting.

Dumbasses just tripping over themselves yet again.

It's not. And I find it shocking how many people actually believe that if someone is doing something that they don't want them to it's "harassment".

The census looks with the state boundaries as well. So it will prop up the conservative areas within the state. Not a great strategy.

You think a census-taker is harassing you (damn near) by doing their job, mandated by The Constitution of the United States?


You could always invite them inside for fava beans and chianti. Tell them the entrée is being "delivered as we speak".

Yes.

You should, politely... strike up a conversation and learn their motive.

There is such a thing as a democrat who votes D because dad and granddad said "always vote D" and they just never bothered to question it.

70% of these folks, if questioned issue-by-issue, are actually conservatives.
