"An inaccurate census risks underrepresentation for tribal communities, and an undercount can lead to skewed State, local, and Federal voting districts that diminish the voices of those communities."

"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."
