I am in support of HR 3645 and S 3481, Correct
the Census and count prisoners where they can vote.
Since the first U.S. census in 1790, the
federal government has included incarcerated people in the population counts of
where they're imprisoned.
The policy of counting prisoners were they are
housed is outdated.
The census is designed to provide fair and
equitable representation.
Prison is to be for the temporary
incarceration and then returned to their home district.
If a person is counted for a district that he
can not vote in, he has no representation.
Prisoners should be counted where their home
is or their last address.
