...Kenneth Blackwell, the Republican Ohio secretary of state who co-chaired the Census Monitoring Board, put it: "Is the juice worth the squeeze? No." After all, the whole thing - which is handled with much wrangling by state legislatures - is likely to be even more bitter in 2000 than it was in 1990, what with the national scales so easily tipped. It's one more partisan fight that a "uniter, not a divider" would want to stay as far away from as possible...
