The ultimate irony would be for Michelle Bachman's district to be so undercounted as a result of refusal of her loyal constituents to answer any questions to the point that she is re-districted out and loses her Congressional seat.

I stand corrected. However, I thought that the only thing you had to provide was the number of people in the house due to what it says in the constitution. The other thing that solidified this in my mind was the countless people I've heard of that only answered the number of household members and were never fined or arrested.
