A friend and I were joking about this a few weeks ago, never thinking it would actually come to fruition. That’ll teach me to underestimate the transparent corruption of the left. The organization is one of about 250 hiring 140,000 people, but it shouldn’t be on the roster at all.
“It’s a concern, especially when you look at all the different charges of voter fraud. And it’s not just the lawmakers’ concern. It should be the concern of every citizen in the country,” Rep. Lynn A. Westmoreland, R-Ga., vice ranking member of the subcommittee for the U.S. Census, told FOXNews.com. “We want an enumeration. We don’t want to have any false numbers.”…
“The Census (Bureau) is a nonpartisan, non-political agency and we’re very dedicated to an accurate account,” bureau spokesman Stephen Buckner told FOXNews.com. “We have a lot of quality controls in place to keep any kind of systemic error or fraudulent behavior to affect the counts.”
Buckner said the bureau received an overwhelming number of qualified applicants — more than 1 million — for the 140,000 census taker jobs filled to complete the first phase of the effort. Each applicant, he said, must take a basic skills exam, which includes reading a map and entering data into a handheld computer. Applicants are also subject to an FBI background check, he said.
But Buckner acknowledged that it is difficult to track an applicant’s political background.
“I have no way of tracking any of that information,” he said. “If somebody comes in to a position with a political agenda and their work exhibits that, there are rules against that,” he said.
Yeah, non-partisan and non-political. So that’s why they’re hiring a far-left liberal organization with a history of fraudulent voter registrations to recruit census workers. Never mind ACORN’s history of political activism, fraudulent activities, and admitted trespassings.
How long before we start hearing reports of fraudulent counts? I hear that Doodad Pro has a lovely family down in Florida.
