They just found a young girl and her mother who have been hiding for 9 years. I bet they didn't fill out the census form... :-) I'm willing to bet *thousands* of people are uncounted in the census. I'm also willing to bet there are nearly "tens of thousands" of absentee ballots that are never counted.

The same reason that slaves counted as three fifths of a person in Article I Section 2 of The Constitution of the United States. |

The census count is done for several purposes (at least, it is now), only one of which is congressional distribution. But the un-estimated body count of peoples living within a State DOES determine how many Congressional representatives a State gets. |

The point being that that is not the only current purpose of the census count. |

If you don't understand the reason why slaves were counted in a census that divided up Congressional seats to the various States while being considered someone's property; you would probably never understand why the XIV amendment refers to persons but specifically excludes Indians and how those numbers may be reduced when the XIV amendment could have been refined to just say citizens of the United States. |

I understand completely why slaves were counted in the census. |

So why do you demonstrate an inability to understand why illegal aliens are counted when the Constitution doesn't specifically say they should not be. |
