    They make a comparison with your birth certificate, then remove your right to vote because your documents are fake or whatever.

        the government does not get free access to census responses, either. it’s protected data. the census bureau produces statistics and numbers, it is not a surveillance arm for the feds. it has to be that way, otherwise half the country or more would either lie or not respond at all.
