T fr to say that the census has actually played a role in the invention or development of the computer . Yeah, i would say that. Reporter score one for the census.

Reporter lucky for us today, there are just nine basic census. But it has tempted politicians to disguise fundraising appeals as census forms, including these from the National Committee and the trump campaign. It is our collective information.
