The first thing to ask about conservatives underreporting on the census is "is this really happening?" The only noise I've seen in the wingnutosphere has been to cease the reporting of race, which, as the link notes, counterproductive to conservative goals.
Folks, there's nothing wrong with doing a head count. There's nothing wrong with the government trying to figure out how many people it has, especially as the Congress and Electoral College is determine on population. There have been censuses since 1790; this isn't a progressive evil.
I can't imagine a conservative having a problem with this. Hence, my first question.
