Original Note:
The claim that counting non-citizens for apportionment benefits Democrats is false. In fact, Florida, Texas, and California gain a Congressional seat, and thus an elector, while Minnesota, Alabama and Ohio lose one. That leaves the partisan balance unchanged. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/07/24/how-removing-unauthorized-immigrants-from-census-statistics-could-affect-house-reapportionment/
