==Design Changes New to This Census==
"The 2010 census has an innovative design, resulting in a census that will differ from its predecessor to a very substantial degree."<ref>http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=12524&page=55</ref> So many changes could easily open a new loophole for manipulation, and it's important that we analyze these changes carefully. There are four major design differences between the 2000 and 2010 censuses.
First, the 2010 census will be a "Short-Form Only Census". "For the first time since 1930, there will be no "long form." The lengthier survey previously has gone to one in every six households and asked about everything from property taxes and indoor plumbing to education, ancestry and commuting patterns."<ref>http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/census/2007-04-29-census_N.htm</ref> "Every household in 2010 will get a shorter Census form, as required by the Constitution. This "short form" asks all members of every household their gender, age, race, ethnicity, relationship to the head of household and whether the home is owned or rented."<ref>http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/census/2007-04-29-census_N.htm</ref>

This ruling against sampling was a step in the right direction, but other techniques which lend themselves to fraud still exist. Hot-Deck Imputation replaces missing data with data taken from other results of the same set.
