Hillary Could Be Elected by Illegals


Electoral College math, different from math 101, gives an unfair advantage to strongly Democratic states.  Because illegal and non-citizen populations help determine the number of House seats apportioned to each state, and ultimately effecting the electoral college count, they can swing the state in Hillary’s favor.

The distribution of these 435 seats is not static: they are reapportioned every ten years to reflect the population changes found in the census. That reallocation math is based on the relative “whole number of persons in each state,” as the formulation in the 14th Amendment has it. When this language was inserted into the U.S. Constitution, the concept of an “illegal immigrant,” as the term is defined today, had no meaning. Thus the census counts illegal immigrants and other noncitizens equally with citizens. Since the census is used to determine the number of House seats apportioned to each state, those states with large populations of illegal immigrants and other noncitizens gain extra seats in the House at the expense of states with fewer such “whole number of persons.”

The GOP must carry the same 24 states Romney did, with their 206 electoral votes; they also must win Florida, Ohio and Virginia to get to 270.   Florida has a large non-citizen/illegal immigrant population, which could help Hillary win the electoral votes for this state.  However, the Sunshine State holds an unfavorable opinion toward Hillary at 57 percent, so perhaps the GOP challenger can indeed win Florida’s electoral college votes.
