CENSUS AND POWER ALLOCTION FAVORS BLUE STATES Doing some research and stumbled on to this. We all know that the census is used to determine the share of congressional seats and electoral votes, but did you know that the Federal government also counts non-citizen and illegal residents in that calculatio? This effectively robs power from states with higher citizen population relative to foreigners. Here is data comparing states by showing the percent of foreign born residents relative to US born residents. Let's look at California, 20% of their population is foreign born, i.e 10 million people out of the 39 million who live there. Of that 10 million 50% of those are non-naturalized, i.e not US citizens, which effectively means California's power is greater than it should be by 5 million people or 7 seats/electoral votes. If you look at Texas, of the 28 million there are 3.4 million non-citizens who get counted or an extra 5 congressional and electoral votes. Now lets look at a small rural state,, say Kansas, of the 2.7 million people who live only 119 thousand are non-citizens; i.e not enough to give them an extra electoral vote/house seat. In short, the rural red stats are getting fucked over and it makes me wonder, if states only counted US citizens for the allocation of electoral votes and congressional seats if the 2018 house election would have gone differently.
