Census Bureau Press Conference in 2 hrs…
Though the Census Bureau is holding a press conference today, they never bothered to send an e-mail out about it. It’s a great way to dodge tough questions by not having reporters at a press conference…

Groves will announce America’s progress as the door-to-door follow-up phase concludes and discuss the next steps in field operations. The briefing will include a media question-and-answer session.

The event # was 70050.
On June 28, Groves blogged that VDC was 15 million cases. Today, he said VDC was 8 million cases. Does no one else think this calls for an explanation?

Maybe the notification of the press conference only went to serious news outlets. As far as the reduction of cases in VDC, yet it would be nice to know why the big decrease. This seems to have happened across the board at most LCOs. So far haven’t seen any adds come across yet.

RE: reduction in VDC caseload – Our LCO went from 25,000 cases down to 15,100. No further explanation or info is known.
