UM: Census

Citing the Associated Press, CBS News reports that President Obama is expected to nominate the “potentially-polarizing” UM professor Robert M. Groves as census director. “Groves’ nomination, which must be confirmed by the Senate, could prompt opposition from Republicans: As the AP notes, ‘Groves recommended that the 1990 census be statistically adjusted to make up for an undercount of roughly 5 million people, many of them minorities in dense urban areas who tend to vote for Democrats.’” [Source]
