How the people vote has everything to do with the election.


Read the words below. Read them over and over again until you understand
them.

The total of the national popular vote is irrelevant. It has nothing
whatsoever to do with the election.

What is the point of counting illegal aliens for the purposes of
assigning seats in Congress?

The census count is done for several purposes (at least, it is now),
only one of which is congressional distribution.

I bet they didn't fill out the census form... :-)

I'm willing to bet *thousands* of people are uncounted in the census. I'm also
willing to bet there are nearly "tens of thousands" of absentee ballots that
are never counted.

The same reason that slaves counted as three fifths of a person in Article I
Section 2 of The Constitution of the United States.

But the un-estimated body count of peoples living within a State DOES
determine how many Congressional representatives a State gets.

I don't see the similarity. The slaves were in this country legally.

Never said otherwise. The point being that that is not the only current
purpose of the census count.

If you don't understand the reason why slaves were counted in a census that
divided up Congressional seats to the various States while being considered
someone's property; you would probably never understand why the XIV
amendment refers to persons but specifically excludes Indians and how those
numbers may be reduced when the XIV amendment could have been refined to
just say citizens of the United States.

I understand completely why slaves were counted in the census.

So why do you demonstrate an inability to understand why illegal aliens are
counted when the Constitution doesn't specifically say they should not be.
