re: #99 Sharmuta

From your GAO quote:

Please note he doesn’t say at any point in time these 750 people have been terminated. He completely misconstrues a good point about government background checks working properly so he can scare people into thinking 750 criminals are out these waiting to knock on their door for the census.

Shar - this is also fro GAO:

Indeed, of the prints that could be processed, fingerprint results identified approximately 1,800 temporary workers (1.1 percent of total hires) with criminal records that name check alone failed to identify. Of the 1,800 workers with criminal records, approximately 750 (42 percent) were terminated or were further reviewed because the Bureau determined their criminal records—which included crimes such as rape, manslaughter, and child abuse—disqualified them from census employment.

They did terminate some, or conducted further review. These folks were NOT sent out, is what I gleaned from it. In other words, their review process, while clumsy, eventually worked.
