Exactly, what in hell does that have to do with figuring out how many reps each state gets? Absolutley nothing. It’s data mining and I find it intrusive and none of the Feds goddamned business.

It has everything to do with reapportionment. Demographics can tell you how someone is more likely to vote….and, you can make up a district based on those figures. So, if you are an unscrupulous politician and want to stack the deck in your favor, this is the time to do that.
