Forget it..the Hispanic people will win hands over fist in this census.

What are they using to base the claim that blacks were underrepresented by 3 million and whites were overrepresented by 1%? As much effort and Census enumerators put into reaching out to everyone I find it a bit odd that so many people would be leftout, unless they intentionally ignored the Census..

However, I do agree that prisoners should be counted in the towns they lived in before being incarcerated, otherwise it can skew data.
