It absolutely does. It mathematically creates votes of different weights in every district than the natives of that district are entitled to unless the aliens are evenly distributed in every district (and such is not the case). I estimate at least ten electoral college votes in California alone are attributable to Illegal aliens and thus nullifying the votes of three whole other states full of citizens.<br /><br />But since the Census doesn't even ask your citizenship status, it is as if the government doesn't really want to know who is a citizen.<br /><br />But the best way to fix this, as well as other forms of gerrymandering, is at-large representation. Thus, you don't vote by district. You vote for your platform and the people who carry your platform. More votes = more representation. But everyone gets the representative they voted for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
