Head Count Fail

The U.S. Census is supposed to be free of politics, but one group with a history of voter fraud, ACORN, is participating in next year's count, raising concerns about the politicization of the decennial survey.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now signed on as a national
partner with the U.S. Census Bureau in February 2009 to assist with the recruitment of the 1.4 million temporary workers needed to go door-to-door to count every person in the United States -- currently believed to be more than 306 million people.
Why do I anticipate claims of census takers "just sort of making it up" as they go along, because it is easier that way than actually walking the precincts? What is in it for ACORN?
The census is an official count of the country's population mandated by the U.S. Constitution. It is used to determine distribution of taxpayer money through grants and appropriations and the apportionment of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives.
Enough said.

Since when has the census been free of politics? It's never happened. And, it never will.

Since when has a 'community organization' proven as being corrupt, been signed on to participate in a census, Larus?
