Every Contra Costa resident can now respond to the Census at https://2020census.gov and by phone.

The 2020 CENSUS is already inaccurate because many people who submitted it back in January/February, have already died. They are no longer among the living. Are they being counted because they submitted their forms or took the Census questionnaire online. The CENSUS should be cancelled due to this inaccuracy.
