[blindlaw] The Census does not track the blind

Chuck,

Census enumerators have already been canvasing neighborhoods for the 
2010 census.  Hence the reason why I say that it is essentially 
impossible to round up every single person who has already provided 
information and find out if any of them are blind.

It's like dropping a few bags of confetti from a balloon and then 
deciding half an hour later to go and pick up every little piece of 
confetti.  You won't get it all.  The thing is, we're talking 
statistics here: If you don't get it all, it doesn't count.

If we wanted this for 2010, we needed to have gotten to work on it a 
year ago.  We didn't, so we'll have to wait for 2020.

Joseph
