The big answer is that it is about as fully counted as the census.


Now, I'll admit to not knowing much about the census, but I *assumed* the
census tried to count every U.S. citizen. Is this not correct? If it is
correct, than the popular vote is *not* as fully counted. I'm willing to bet
none of my absentee ballots for the last 4 presidential elections have ever
been opened. Conversly, I'm confident my last two census forms were processed.
Why wouldn't they be?
