Census shenanigans


Was the fix in?

Here's one I know has happened in rural areas of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, but doesn't seem to be getting anymore than limited local coverage.

No one in my town got their census forms.

The official excuse is that the census workers hung them on the mailboxes. That is an extremely interesting excuse considering there is nothing approaching home delivery or even end of the street delivery. You go to the post office or you don't get your mail. And there is nothing on those post office boxes to hang anything on.

Now there are several towns that had the strange things happen. Flagstaff got duplicate forms.

I have no idea if this is because of bureaucratic incompetence and political featherbedding or if there are darker, more sinister forces at work.

I wish I was far enough removed from my paranoid conspiracy days to ignore that last possibility. Unfortunately, try as I might, it's still a significant possibility. Especially considering some of the number games this administration has already played.

Even if the fix wasn't in, if this was a Republican administration you'd better believe this would making national headlines.
