First, I appreciate the gentleman's expertise on this issue. Should I take it from his concerns and comments about the undercount in New York that under his leadership he will commit to doing something the Census Bureau has refused to do, which is a statistical adjustment to take into account the undercount and adjust New York accordingly? I mean, I appreciate the gentleman's protests; but to be honest with him, it was not a shortage of data. It was a shortage of a desire on the part of the Census Bureau to use that data to enfranchise those who were disenfranchised.
