I've written about this at http://ohio15th.blogspot.com and I'm sure you'll see the connections.
According to the Miami Herald (http://www.miamiherald.com/top_stories/s tory/449154.html), the U.S. Census, which is scheduled to be completed in 2010, is in a mess:
...The handheld mobile computers that are supposed to replace the pens and paper long used by census-takers aren't working properly, and delays could send the cost from $600 million to as much as $2 billion.
The Census Bureau has done little, if any, planning for what to do if the handheld mobile computers can't be made to work...
''I cannot overemphasize the seriousness of this problem,'' Census Bureau Director Steve Murdock told a Senate hearing last week....
In case you were wondering.....
1. Mr. Murdock is another person President Bush brought from Texas.
2. Open Secrets (http://www.opensecrets.org/) reports that over $17,000 was contributed by Harris Corp. to various Republican committees.
3. Open Secrets (http://www.opensecrets.org/) details that Harris Corp. gave over $7,000 to the campaign of George W. Bush.
I'm positive that readers will find even more ties between the Republican Bush administration and Harris Corp.
