QUESTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is the RNC sending out a fundraising ‘Census’ with the words “Official Document” on it?<\/p>\n

ANSWER:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, both the RNC and DNC have their own versions. The RNC version is called the “2019 Congressional District Census” and has some worried it will be mistaken for the U.S. Census Bureau.<\/p>\n

Some people online are complaining about a fishy letter they got.<\/p>\n

The envelope reads “DO NOT DESTROY OFFICIAL DOCUMENT.” When you open it up, it says “2019 Congressional District Census.”<\/p>\n

It claims it is commissioned by the Republican party, and includes several pages with pro-Trump questions and a section to fill out your credit card information.<\/p>\n

Turns out it is, and they’ve been doing this for years, according to an RNC spokesperson.<\/p>\n

While they said the documents clearly say “paid for by the Republican National Committee,” several people online have complained that this could fool elderly people who might think it’s an official U.S. Census.<\/p>\n
