On a different note, as much as the inner partisan in me is gleeful at the prospect of less Republican representation, this is really, ultimately, going to hurt the most vulnerable among us - funding for schools, roads, and all other essential services is based on the census data in large part. That is because that’s the fair way to apportion funding - a straight up counting of people. So, I am sad that there’s a distinct possibility that some counties will be undercounted, and hence, underserved. I would advise against failing to return your census data, except of course, none of the far right would listen to me on that score.
