For next census, expect every dirty trick in the book from GOP

For next census, expect every dirty trick in the book from GOPThe Census will follow the law, not the politics. They are good that way. What state governments do with the information is up to voters. The good news is that turnout is higher in presidential years. This favors the Democrats. Whether they adequately stress the need to vote down-ballot is up to them. Count on the Republicans to suddenly get religion on nonpartisan redistricting in the face of a Blue Wave come November. The Democrats should jump at the chance, although they are not adept at long term thinking. That is why the 60 vote requirement on approving federal judges was overturned. Not smart.
