[blindlaw] The Census does not track the blind

Sorry to burst your bubble but the census is not taken perfectly and there
has always been missing information.  All you have to do is just look at
their records and you can see that some date for some states simply is not
taken in.  If it were perfect we wouldn't be having court cases on
redistricting.

The census did a survey of 18 to 34 year olds in 2006 and that survey was
missing information on several states.  Did that stop them from publishing
the results, of course not.

There is still time to take the census and to get all of the information and
saying oh no it is going to be inconvenient is not going to get the job
done.  Everything is inconvenient, so what we still get the job done.

You are a statitician you want it all to be perfect, it never is perfect.
