If Obama and his Commerce Department bow to leftist pressure groups and trample the Constitution, our very democracy will be undermined. Our system of voting is a sacred trust. Attempts to manipulate that system violate that trust. This issue will be a test of Obama and the U.S. Constitution.
"The last thing the census needs is for any hard-bitten partisan (either a Karl Rove or a Rahm Emanuel) to manipulate these critical numbers. Many federal funding formulas depend on them, as well as the whole fabric of federal and state representation. Partisans have a natural impulse to tilt the playing field in their favor, and this has to be resisted," says Larry Sabato, the director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, in an e-mail to Fox News. "I've always remembered what Joseph Stalin said: 'Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.'"
