Census, Reapportionment, Democracy
/My thanks for all the responses to my US Census questions of yesterday. Most so far have come to me via direct email, which is the most helpful when mentioning specific other individuals whom I might be able to interview personally.
If you have not replied as yet, please do. That email address to reach me is: Keel@KeelHunt.com (See the previous post below for the three questions.)
The Census will commence in just three months, and it will lay the foundation for how reapportionment (the re-drawing of congressional and state legislative district maps) will be done in the following year. All of this is relevant to how democracy is intended to work in our nation.
The longer piece I’m working on is about this formulation: Full-count Census + Fair Reapportionment = Representative Democracy.
It’s all connected.
