"Administering the census is a task so fundamental to how our government operates that our Nation's founders included it in the Constitution."

"The census can have a profound influence on the issue of voting accessibility, everything from a constituent's voting district to the availability of language assistance at the polls."

"The census has a big impact on Indian Country when it comes to voting, one of our most essential civil rights."

"Valid and accurate census data is the bedrock of fair, proportionate representation in our democracy."
