8.2 Positionality
All four authors are U.S. citizens. While we are all thus implicated in matters of American legislative representation and voting rights, we all also reside in well-resourced regions which are not threatened by census undercounts or exclusion, nor by active infringements upon voting rights.
One author participated in processes around the 2020 DAS in real time; the other three became involved the project post-2020, and do not belong to any of the primary stakeholder groups that were most active in the census debate. One author is trained in computer science, two in the mathematical and physical sciences, and one as a lawyer; these backgrounds informed our comprehension of and perspectives on the legal and technical processes at play.
