Counting Americans is what we are supposed to be doing here. not protecting our political majority in Congress. What they apparently fail to realize is the impact an inaccurate Census count has had on the population of poor. rural and urban Congressional Districts. including the one I represent. In 1990. nearly 14.700 of my constituents were not counted. ironically placing my District near the top of the list at number 75 out of many Congressional Districts that experienced undercounts. Most of the people who were not counted in my District were poor people. AfricanAmericans. Latinos. immigrants and children living in the city of Jackson. Bolivar County. Madison County.
