“A growing number of Ohio lawmakers are questioning whether illegal immigrants - and other noncitizens - should be included in the census count that’s used to determine congressional representation.

Right now, the U.S. Census counts every person every decade, meaning that noncitizens - including those who have entered the country illegally - are routinely counted along with U.S. citizens. Among other things, those numbers are used to determine how many members of Congress each state gets - and how many votes each state has in the Electoral College, which chooses the president.”
