Ending the count earlier will put at risk those left uncounted, underfunded, and underrepresented for years to follow.

“There are real political motivations to essentially bias the final count because certain parties will gain from it at the expense of people they consider not worthy of being included,” CNK director and former Census Bureau adviser Paul Ong commented.
