Census: Why don't we all just boycott the citizenship question? (assuming there is one)

[Ms. Toad]

72. So if the Republicans succeed in their plan

(which has been in the news within the last two weeks), not answering the citizenship question will likely result in treating you as a non-citizen. And, again, if the Republicans succeed in their plan - that will result in a significant shift to (Republican) citizens on which redistricting will be based.

The repubican scheme is not only to depress cooperation -

but also to change/advocate for changing the basis of redistricting:

The Trump administration believes its proposed question about citizenship on the 2020 Census will help states that want to draw citizens-only voting districts in the next round of redistricting by providing the first comprehensive data on non-citizens in about 70 years, according to a Reuters review of court and federal register documents and interviews with more than a dozen state lawmakers

I'm pretty sure I've never called any person on DU "not smart." Ideas - even ideas proposed by the most brilliant people in the world can be not smart.
