946-444: The Supreme Court affirmed the lower court ruling that rejected Utah's efforts to have Mormon missionaries counted.

1118-542: The census did not count them specifically. Bisexual and transgender populations were not counted, either, because there were no questions regarding this information.

The state challenged that the use of imputation violates the Census Act of 1957 and that it also fails the Constitution's requirement in Article I, Section 2 that an "actual enumeration" be used for apportionment. This case, Utah v. Evans , made it to the Supreme Court , but Utah was again defeated. The census forms did not include any questions regarding sexual orientation , making it impossible to compile data comparing heterosexual and homosexual populations. However, two questions were asked that allowed same-sex partnerships to be counted. The questionnaires asked

1548-583: The military and other federal civilian employees serving abroad as residents of their home state but did not count other people living outside the United States.
