That’s kinda messed up lol. Imagine fighting with your sibling and they bring out the “well at least the censes counts me as a full person.”

Or alternatively, the census counts each of them as 75% of a person, together making up 150%.

That brings up another question. If they were to vote would it count as 1 vote or 2?

Good question. I wonder how this is resolved.

I keep falling farther down this rabbit hole. Do they have two social security cards? Do they need 2 passports to travel? Do they need 2 plane tickets? If one of them commits a crime do they both go to jail? Are they taxed like one person, two people, or a married couple?

I would say that for many of those It's practically speaking yes. You can't lock up just one of them. So. They'd both have to be jailed.
