United States Supreme Court

The Census Bureau's use of "hot-deck imputation" in a population count, giving the state of Utah one less Congressional representative than if the Bureau had filled information gaps with zero counts, does not constitute impermissible "sampling" under 13 U.S.C. section 195, which requires a decennial census, and does not violate the Constitution's Census Clause.
