[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.
