Jehovah's Witnesses boycott 2010 Census

Citing the census David called that brought out a plague on Israel (1 Chronicles 21) and "not being part of the national system". Do one or two million Jehovah's Witnesses go to jail?
 
Based on my own experience as a Census worker, I wouldn't be surprised if one or two million people (or more) tried to boycott the Census this year. I say "tried" deliberately, because I don't know of a single instance where someone who refused to cooperate with the Census was not counted. We used other sources, including postal workers, town offices, employers, neighbors, and relatives to acquire the necessary (and very limited) information. So even if JW tried to boycott the Census, it's unlikely they would have been more than slightly successful from the Census's viewpoint.
 
In addition, I can't think of anyone of any religious viewpoint that would refuse to cooperate with the Census. (Politically- very likely.) Now, someone just might try it...
(IOTL, there have been people who did give what could be considered frivolous answers to the Census, like one guy who claimed he was from Mars.)
