Do they not live in those states?
Which includes quite a few red states btw. It's hardly a partisan advantage... But if Texas and Florida wants to lose some seats...

I'm not saying right or wrong, but it could impact who gets elected. Illegal immigrants don't need to vote directly to impact elections due to the electoral college.
Too fucking bad for the whiners because the Constitution straight up doesn't care. Probably because they'd have thought we were being weird fuckheads on border control.
All voting rights addressed by the Constitution are amendments prohibiting various forms of discrimination. You don't even technically have to be a citizen to vote per Constitutional law, that's just a restriction agreed upon by all state laws.
Fundamentally, I'm not sure why being a citizen, or even legal status, should matter when it comes to voting. When you consider that a US citizen can move to a new state/local jurisdiction and immediately vote in those elections with just proof of residency in that jurisdiction, then it seems like the proof of residency is what's really important in determining whether you can vote in a given election.
Yeah, I feel like you could easily I clude numbers for citizen and non-citizen. I don't think non-citizen should affect the number of electorates. I do think it's an important consideration for that state's elected officials, because the people do exist.
