Changes to Population Count for Congressional and Electoral Vote Apportionment

This bill proposes that non-citizens of the United States should not be included in the population count used for determining the number of representatives in Congress and electoral votes for presidential elections. This means future political divisions of the country will be based solely on the number of citizens, potentially affecting states' representation in Congress and their weight in presidential elections.
Key points
Excludes non-citizens from the population count for congressional apportionment.
Excludes non-citizens from the population count for electoral vote determination.
Changes will apply starting with the 2030 decennial census and subsequent censuses.
