    Trump’s census shenanigans continue while no one’s looking — even after his Supreme Court defeat

    in August, the Census Bureau entered a proposal for a general clearance

    to acquire state administrative records, such as those of recipients of public-assistance programs, into the federal registry.

    Although the bureau already receives some administrative records from states, it has

    complained that the records it receives are stripped of identifiable information.

    With more than a month left open for public comment and consideration on the proposal, the Associated Press reported on Monday that the

    American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators confirmed that nearly every state has recently received additional

    requests from the Census Bureau for information including citizenship status, race, and home address.


    is clearly meant to serve as an end-run of the Supreme Court’s ruling.

    While acquiring citizenship data through a direct inquiry on the census was not ruled illegal — Roberts instead determined that bureau officials were not honest in their answers to the district court —

    collecting citizenship information through the census bureau still presents similar problems.


    Experts warn that many households with undo ented immigrants won’t complete the necessary census forms for fear of retaliation.

    This could ultimately lead to a less accurate headcount, as was feared with a question on the Census itself, and

    deprive cities with large immigrant communities of federal funding and representation.

    The census serves as the basis for reapportioning seats in the House of Representatives every 10 years as well as for the distribution of social spending.


    “The result is going to be fairly similar to including the citizen question directly on the census form,”

    It is not difficult to imagine how sharing state motor vehicle records with the federal government can increase the amount of uninsured and unregistered drivers on the road.

    “the fear engendered by the administration’s immigration policies will make the job of census workers difficult in primarily immigrant neighborhoods, regardless of whether or not the citizenship question is added.”

    “If you don’t participate in the census, Trump wins,” said Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, a Democrat.

    Florida and Texas, have seen efforts to bulk up community outreach stymied by Republicans in the state’s legislatures.

    Merryman was in a much more difficult environment, not so today. There's always contempt of court to be applied to the Commerce Secretary.

    Or the court can simply impose what the deadlines will be if the DoC doesn't want to play ball.

    Looks like somebody leaked to the court an email that appears to suggest the DoC paid no attention to the TRO...

    Trash/Barr's "unitary executive": THE JUDICIARY, nobody oversights us.

    Census Bureau says operations will conclude by October 5

    Ross announced Monday evening that he intends to conclude the 2020 census on October 5,

    more than three weeks earlier than expected after a federal judge
    reinstated the October 31 end date.

    Not a full stop. Just until the appeal works it's way through the lower courts.

    Plus, the Census is a law. The only thing that's Cons utionally mandated is that Congress enacts a law to conduct the Census.

    So next Congress is well within it's power to issue a do over.

    They need control of Congress.

    There's going to be a lot of do-overs. It's not just the Census. A bunch of people this administration put in positions of power weren't legally allowed to be there.

    Thus, a lot of the decisions they made are going to have to be re-made. It happens when you have a completely inept administration.

    goddamn, there's not a single govt operation by the Repugs that not's corrupted, cheating, fraudulent, destructive, lying

    Lawsuit says census takers were pressured to falsify data

    census takers were pressured to falsify data as the statistical agency cut corners and slashed standards,

    some households were marked as completed after only one attempt to reach residents living there

    census takers were pressured by supervisors to close cases as quickly as possible, and

    they did this by guessing the number of people living in a household,

    claiming an address was too dangerous to visit or

    falsely saying residents of a household had refused to answer questions during door-knocking,

    “Instructions such as those identified above suggested to enumerators that they should falsify data to close cases quickly,”

    the disregard for accuracy was done to end the count early so that census numbers could be processed

    while President Donald Trump was still in the White House, regardless of who wins the presidential race.

    That would allow the Trump administration to enforce a presidential order seeking to exclude people living in the U.S. illegally when congressional seats are divvied up among the states.

    “Defendants cut many corners and made decisions that do not bear a reasonable relationship to the accomplishment of an actual enumeration,”

    “Such non-direct enumeration methods are less accurate and have a profound effect on immigrants and minorities — the hard-to-count populations.”

    https://apnews.com/article/us-census...3456c1354066a2

    Plenty of ground for annulling the 2020 census, and

    1000s of door knockers and supervisors to testify as whistle-blowers,

    and running a new 2021 census.

    But the Dems don't have the balls.

    "The 2020 Census is now estimated to cost approximately $15.6 billion.

    Moreover, the average cost for counting a housing unit increased from about

    $16 in 1970 to around

    $92 in 2010 (in 2020 constant dollars),

    in part because the nation's population is more difficult to count."

    Repugs in SCOTUS today trying to overturn 200 years of Census counting all "persons"

    We'll see if the corrupt rightwing Repug SCOTUS

    drops the "balls and strikes" charade,

    disrespects stare decisis,

    ignores the TEXT of the Cons ution, and

    activist-ly excludes non-citizens.

    Shoring up racist/xenophobic bona fides. I'll be surprised if SCOTUS grants the government's prayer, the Congressional Record makes clear that Congress knew what it doing when it ins uted a head count.

    They conservatives seem to favor the plaintiffs on the merits, but raise issues of standing and timing. Since there's no injury yet, the lawsuit might be premature.
