“the test in Paterson, New Jersey is a good illustration of why polling does not work. We have got real problems with polling, especially when you get down to census block level. When you get down to census blocks and census tracks, the error rates are too great. We need to count everyone and we need to put the resources into it. It is hard work to count people. You do not count homeless people from 9 to 5 Monday through Friday. You may have to count them at 2 o'clock in the morning on a weekend. You work through homeless shelters. We are willing to put the resources in so everyone should be counted. Everyone should be counted. We should do it in the best way possible, working together. There are a lot of good ideas that have come out of past census tests and we can do that. But sampling or polling is the dangerous one and it will not be trusted by the American people.”
