Sounds like the OP created a thread that is technically true but purposefully misleading by omitting important details.

I find that if someone needs to intentionally mislead people to convince them that their idea is a good one, the idea is not so good after all.

The Democrats are going to need every vote they can get. Don’t be surprised if they push for voting rights for pets. After all, there are laws for pets, so why shouldn’t they vote?

I hear the latest MENSA tests ask one to explain the correlation between the census (which has nothing to do with registering to vote) and Democrats needing every vote they can get, including from pets. No doubt you are already a member with this sound analysis.

In that case my gun should be able to vote 20,000 times over.

TRANSLATION: Uh-oh, the OP's got us. Time to change the rules in the middle of the game. Hey, I've got one: If a question wasn't asked of every single person in the country during the census, we can now pretend it "wasn't in the census" even though it was asked of millions as part of the census. Yup, that'll do it. Now we can pretend the OP said something wrong.

And it might even mask the fact that the entire "issue" is we liberals going hysterical over Trump putting the same question back on the long form, where it still won't be asked of most people. But for that we're screaming "He IS putting it back in the census!!!"

Hmm, the liberal hysterics have suddenly become very quiet.

Because liberalism can't survive without large number of illegal voters who don't have America's best interests at heart.

If by "every" you mean the census that 1 in 6 Americans received, then yes.

But if you mean "every" as in the actual defintion of the word, you are mistaken. It was not every census. It was on some of them. Unless you think 1 out of 6 is "everything."

The question has indeed been in every census except 2010 when it was removed and put in the ACS.
