The Pissed Off Tree Rat

     Now I just finished my census sheet. Last time I had the long survey, but this year it was just the short form. It has about a sheet full of info on how it’s used to determine how many Congressional reps etc. the state you reside in gets. Cool, I get it. But this is what threw me, in not a single place in the survey does it ask if I’m an American citizen eligible to vote. I could be a house full of people on short term student, or work, visas with no bearing on the federal voter numbers. How the hell does this even work? I smell a rat, a Pissed Off Tree Rat.
