Republicans will lose many seats in Congress due to right-wing paranoia about the Census

Republicans will lose many seats in Congress due to right-wing paranoia about the Census and refusal to fill out census forms, gloats the liberal web site Daily Kos.

 

The number of Congressional districts a state gets is based on how many of its citizens return completed census forms. Because voters in conservative states are completing and returning census forms at lower rates than voters in liberal states, conservative states will lose many seats in the House of Representatives that they would otherwise gain due to increases in their population.

I wish I had a national radio show so I could ask "how does it feel to be playing into the Democrats hands?'

The good news is this will keep Glenn Beck employed crying about progressivism for the next 10 years. Or maybe people will actually figure out that decisions have consequences, and instead of acting like spoiled children they will fill out the forms.
