SCOOP: @NPR has obtained a copy of an agreement showing that South Dakota is sharing driver& #39;s license and state ID records with the Census Bureau to help the Trump administration figure out the U.S. citizenship status of every adult living in the country. https://www.npr.org/2020/07/14/890798378/south-dakota-is-sharing-drivers-license-info-to-help-find-out-who-s-a-citizen">https://www.npr.org/2020/07/1...
2. To be clear, there is *no* citizenship question on the #2020Census.
This agreement with South Dakota Department of Public Safety is part of Trump admin& #39;s backup plan for producing block-level citizenship data that could benefit GOP during redistricting https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6988649-April-14-2020-Memorandum-of-Understanding.html">https://www.documentcloud.org/documents...

3. In case you haven& #39;t read the article yet, what I& #39;ve confirmed today is that South Dakota& #39;s sharing its state driver& #39;s license & state ID card data with the Census Bureau. In November, I reported on a similar agreement re: Nebraska driver& #39;s license data. https://www.npr.org/2019/11/20/781373128/nebraska-1st-to-say-it-will-share-drivers-license-records-with-census-bureau">https://www.npr.org/2019/11/2...
