Arturo Vargas, CEO of NALEO Educational Fund, says Donald Trump’s decision to end census data collection one month early will “undermine” the final results. He tells Ali Velshi an accurate census count should not be a partisan issue because “any state or population group that’s undercounted hurts everyone.” Aired on 8/4/2020.

Voting Rights Expert Says Early End To Census Count Could Be ‘Disastrous’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
Trump in charge of my personal information? NO THANKS!
@Elaine Broskie Lol, right wing tech…
Name one right wing tech company…
@Brutal Noodle Ever heard of the Internal Revenue Service? No? probably because you’re not American.
Even the corporations have our information. You’re on YouTube. You’re getting tracked! ALL OF YOUR ALIASES! 😄😄😄
Yet YOU expect to look into his taxes.
@Elaine Daprano 1. I don’t pay taxes…
2. Google developed the world’s first quantum computers.. they OWN security..
3. Why are you so hard for the census? Who gets that hard for the census?
@Jeff Gibson Me? No.. I don’t give a sh*t about his taxes… I know he’s a crook without seeing them….. That’s other people who need more evidence lol…
The only mass fraud is the obese grifter in the White House.
Maybe we can find out where our votes are being mailed to and just drive them there and count them ourselves. 🇺🇸🇺🇸BYE DON 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸
Tru .Please keepup the fight for the truth Sir
The cheating begins!
🇺🇸🇺🇸 BYE DON 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Don’t you mean continues?
Trump isn’t clever enough to come up with this crap on his own.
Care to take a guess who does?
McConnell and Graham…this has their name all over it .
🇺🇸🇺🇸 BYE DON BYE DON 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸
Mitch Mc Connell along with Barr
PS: add graham to the list
@JVS 3 and add the political strategists that head the Koch industries and Murdoch corporations “welfare” divisions.
brin Joness yes big money buys the strategists to their benefit
trump is doing everything a criminally corrupt person would do. If it benefits him financially, politically it stays, if it doesn’t it goes.
🇺🇸🇺🇸 BYE DON 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸
brilliantly said, ty mr vargas and mr velshi. this is vital information, only collected once a decade. if this gets shut down early, it will ruin states for a decade.
@Jeff Gibson NO there are plenty of reasons people haven’t answered and the normal procedure is for them to send someone to the residences that didnt answer to ensure that they are vacant without the time to do that double check many elderly and disabled people will not be counted!
@Llynnyia I know, I’ve done it before. But I never discovered any elderly or disabled person, because their relatives respond for them. That’s the best you can hope for without getting ridiculous.
@CShield I’ve worked on the Census before. The form asks the census taker to go to the location 6 times until you make contact. If you haven’t found evidence of people in 6 visits, then they give it to the next worker and he will go there 6 times. It’s MORONIC.
Census workers have not been going out due to COVID.
@Jeff Gibson So, you have absolutely no proof then? Figures.
*No distraction: Vote President Biden 2020*
Trump supporters vote for him because they like him, Biden supporters vote for him because they hate trump. Love wins over hate
@Logan McLean Sure, If I don’t vote orange, orange don’t exist.
This is weird. Why does he think the Census has ANYTHING to do with him…at this late date??? It can’t be finished. My friend is working part time as census taker. It’s been jammed together so fast, they’re having technical difficulties. The trainer said Trump had given them a MONTH!!! EVERYBODY LAUGHED!
I’m here, hello, count me..
$10 says Biden is going to need to redo the census in 2021
🇺🇸🇺🇸BYE DON 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸
ThomasLoweDesigns I keep seeing that phrase is it supposed to be insulting tRump or Biden?
He can’t. The Census is defined in the Constitution. If Democrats care about the Constitution they have to abide by what it says. If they want to separate themselves from renegade Republicans, who no longer care about rules/ rule of law because of Trump, they have to strictly follow the rules.
@Karen Byrd If previous president already failed to follow constitution, it is the next opresidents responsibility to rectify situation. it’s as if Trump didn’t make the census. Of course I’m sure congress needs to approve.
America’s ideal: All people are created equal.
America’s reality: WRONG!
🇺🇸🇺🇸 BYE DON 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸
RIGHT Ro G exactly in fact all people are not created equal that’s what the constitution was suppose to address I think some re-writing is in order
▶️ The censor is a moving number with so much deaths.
Just goes to show what voting rights in the USA are actually worth.
Just another Trump failure! It is what it is!
Guys. You’re a dictatorship.
Wake up.
Trump will do anything. Anything. Everything to stay in power.
Its happening now.
Trump will not leave office.
Power over the census sould be under legislative control, no matter what POTUS wants. It’s in the Constitution.
Can’t congress do something about this!
Just another attempt by trump and the GOP to steal and rig future elections
For the love of God…. it was obvious a long time ago that the Trump admin would screw this up in some fashion.
Trump instumentalizes everything and anything. Those poor brainwashed souls that have yet to understand that, have my pity.
