Paranoia Strikes Deep...

This came across my desk the other day... actually, it appeared on my local site on Nextdoor.com. A woman posted the following:

"We received a legit looking survey in the mail supposedly from the Census Bureau. Many personal questions were on it, some like the Census bureau would ask, but we noticed that it asked what time you leave for work and how long it takes you to get home. When we had not filled it out and returned it someone called and pressured us to answer it over the phone. We refused and he said he would be calling back. After that, I did a bit of research. According to consumeraffairs.com, the census bureau would NOT ask when you leave for work and when you return."

Some Statistics on the Electoral College

The following table is factual; the author intends no comment. The numbers presented are as follows:

Column 1: State name (includes D.C.)
Column 2: estimated 2016 population by state, from Census.gov
Column 3: number of Electoral College votes the state controls
Column 4: column 2 divided by column 3, rounded to the nearest whole number

The table is sorted by Column 4, in descending order of "population per Electoral College vote"
