Do not tell him how much this would fuck Texas and Florida’s electoral votes. It’d balance out the losses from California and new York.

The census still counted slaves. Their population only counted as 3/5 of a vote for the purpose of electoral votes

Do you not think the census should tell us how many people are actually in the country? Do you want illegal immigrants to be fully unaccounted for?

the census is purposefully confidential and counts everyone specifically for this purpose
