I heavily disagree. Drawing districts is inherently political; it has real impact on the outcome of elections. Censuses should be inherently apolitical; they are a reflection of the state of the nation. Combining the two means that either drawing districts will become apolitical, or taking the census becomes political. In situations like this, it's almost always the latter.
