The Census Bureau, a historically apolitical statistical agency, issued a report on noncitizen voting under its official letterhead despite the document being unsigned, mathematically inconsistent, and reportedly drafted by external political operatives rather than career statisticians. This represents a direct politicization of federal data infrastructure—using institutional credibility as a vessel for claims that wouldn't survive peer review. When government agencies launder partisan research through their official channels, they degrade both the agency's authority and the shared factual baseline required for democratic governance.
