From http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_634567.html:
"Census counts are used to determine how to distribute $435 billion a year and how legislative districts are drawn. The fewer people counted in an area, the fewer representatives that area gets. Segments of the population where census officials have the most trouble getting responses — urban, low-income, and minority, for example — tend to vote Democratic."
I for one am glad the urban, low-income, and minority folks are resisting government reaches into their privacy. Too bad they are doing it for all the wrong reasons, but it's a step in the right direction.
