OAKLAND, California —The U.S. Census Bureau is preparing for its next constitutionally mandated national head count, to be held in 2020.
Unfortunately, the Bureau’s 2020 Operation Plan reveals that an actual enumeration of the population—the only thing constitutionally permitted—will be but a small part of the overall effort.
The 192-page document filled with bureaucratic gobbledygook reminds us why the census should return to its original simplicity.
