and as far as this post goes. The another issue that was brought up at the end of the article was sampling. For those who don’t know what that is, its basically a mathematical calculation to help estimate the population of highly dense urban areas. Republicans are against sampling, primarily because it apparently goes against the constitution and that the constitution requires we count the “heads one by one” of every U.S. citizen. Democrats are in favor of sampling because it allows for better estimates of our population, based on the “samples” taken. The CB is known for its mistakes, miscalculating the actual population in the near millions. The majority of those not counted are from the lower class. They often miss count people living in high dense urban zones, something that sampling could help fix (democrats argue anyway). An example the fox news journalist gave in that article up there is of a miss count of Mormons who weren’t in Utah at the time of the census in 2000. I’m not sure why she attempts to use this as a case against sampling, because there was no sampling used in the 2000 census. All this article tells me was that the CB was going to be “supervised” in the white house. Even if it’s just going to be under supervision and then Obama implements some kind of real change like sampling in 2010 census, I personally don’t see anything wrong with that. This isn’t really something to get your panties all in a bunch.
