Wouldn't it be easier to have a computer system where information (like the current residence) of citizens and residents would be stored?

The constitution is unconstitutional, duh!

@x--. : Surely the constitution doesn't prohibit a population information system? And surely it wouldn't prohibit using such a system to carry a portion of the census every 10 years?

@x--. : Fair enough, but wouldn't it still make the census easier if a continuous count of most of the people existed all the time and then in the actual census you'd only need to count people who are for some reason missed in that count?

@x--. : What I was thinking is that idea would still be to actually count all the people, just so that the majority could be counted by simply querying a computer system and only the remainder would have to be counted more expensively "by hand" like described in this video. I didn't mean to suggest that the harder to count people should be skipped. I'm not sure how viable that would actually be but it sounds like an obvious idea.
