Commerce's Ross says census question aimed at Voting Rights Act enforcement

WASHINGTON - U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross insisted on Thursday that the plan by the Republican Trump administration to revive a citizenship question on the 2020 census was aimed at bolstering the Voting Rights Act, prompting ridicule from Democrats.

Ross testified to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that gathering accurate data on U.S. citizens outweighed any potential reduction in response rates. His assertions were mocked by the majority Democrats on the committee, including chairman Elijah Cummings.

A lot of crap

I get this looming figure.

Which is not the Purpose of the Census!!!

Oh, that's the story now, eh? How long will this one last?

Ross took the time to dye his hair and eyebrows, but nose hair maintenance? Just another MAGAManscape.

The census should not ask about color, ethnicity or religion. The rest is fair game and one is free to not answer the census.

Vindicates the critics. Our census isn’t something connected to a political party or to partisan politics, something made to serve the idiot POTUS and help him con his way into office again... but that’s exactly what this is...

He didn’t actually admit that, did he?

Hard not to believe such a trustworthy face!

Can we stop having these old ass men make policies for a generation of people they have nothing in common with 🤦🏾‍♀️

I feel everyone in America must be accounted for. Which means either amnesty or illegals must be identified. Those are the options, but at some point it’ll have to happen to remove the electoral college

They are socially engineering an artificially whiter, older electorate. They are disgustingly obviously.
