Calls for Trump-appointed Census accuracy director as Newsom crowd size demands accuracy, too

There’s nothing partisan about wanting accuracy—accuracy is patriotic. That’s why it makes perfect sense for the Trump team to appoint a director to ensure a fair, accurate, unbiased census—someone who truly understands what accuracy means. Accuracy is important, and so is the crowd size when, for instance, Governor Newsom visits rural South Carolina. If people are showing up on both sides, we need transparency: who’s there, who isn’t, who’s supporting whom. It’s about trust in the numbers. No one is suggesting—well, some people might—that accurate headcounts only matter when your side is in charge, but that’s not the point. The point is, when you have the right director, and the right counters, you get the right numbers. Not that the numbers should be right for one side, I mean, accuracy isn’t about sides, it’s about, well, accuracy. It’s just a coincidence that some numbers are more accurate than others.
