NEW:

Former US census chiefs, under Republican and Democratic administrations, warn that adding a citizenship question to the census is “risky” and could result in population miscounts.

Two key points by @ThePlumLineGS:
-Even though Trump Admin. hasn’t nominated a Census director, it rejected warnings of 6 former directors who served under presidents of both parties
-If Democrats retake House in ‘18, they can undo citizenship question#WhyBlueWaveMatters https://t.co/N8rb499Vg4

Yup. If Dems get back House in 2018, there will still be time for Congress to remove the citizenship question before the 2020 census ——> https://t.co/GHlfAmorMZ

Yet another reason the November election is pretty much the ballgame. https://t.co/RrUDEdkRiX
