How Apportionment Defrauds American Citizens
5th May 2021
The news that six states will gain seats in the House of Representatives and another seven will lose seats, thanks to new census numbers, was widely reported.
What was missed, though, is that the inclusion of noncitizens, including illegal aliens, in the population used to determine apportionment means that many Americans—and states—are being defrauded of their fair share of representation in Congress.
Nothing new here. The infamous ‘three-fifths rule’ in the original Constitution was the result of haggline between the slave states, who wanted to include noncitizen nonvoting black slaves for representation purposes, thereby increasing their clout in the House of Representatives, and the non-slave states, who wanted to count only citizens.
