Istook: Census To Include Fictitious People?

Left-leaning groups want to include millions of pretend people in the real-life 2010 Census, former Congressman Ernest Istook writes today in a Human Events column. It almost happened in 2000, he writes. "This time, they might get their way. The administration claims it has 'no plans' to use statistical sampling to augment the actual headcount next year by adding millions of fictitious people. Not everyone believes this.

"Conservatives worry that, having learned from the failure of Bill Clinton’s high-profile push for census sampling, the administration has adopted a stealth approach."
