Census lowest in SW Kansas. Good I hope it bites them in the ass. Jerry Moran can kiss mine!

HUTCHINSON, Kan. - The participation rate in southwest Kansas in the 2010 U.S. Census lags behind other parts of the state and the overall national response.

Hamilton County Clerk Marcia Ashmore said she mailed her survey in, and she could not explain why that county would have the lowest participation rate in Kansas. She observed, though, that 51 percent was higher than the last statistic she had heard for Hamilton County, of just 49 percent participation.
