Does an incomplete census hurt the process? |
|
For example, if I only answered the first question, would there be a problem?

1. What is the first question? |
|
I can tell you this: If you only answer the first question, someone will knock on your door and ask the others. Trust me. It will happen. They're taking the census seriously this year, and will follow up on incomplete forms.

2. First question: "How many people are in your household?" |

4. That's an important question, but you have to answer the others. |

5. Can you tell me why you didn't want to fill it out? It's none of my business |

6. You need to answer the question on race |
|
that way they can apply the 3/5th rule for representation.

8. I can't keep that one straight |
|
Is a corporation 3/5th of a person, or is the the other way around?

7. If you don't answer it completely |
|
It means that someone will show up and that one person may know more about you then you want.
If you answer it completely It means that the next time someone sees the answers you will be 72 years older.
