This kind of reminds of me of the Constitutional Convention where the slave states wanted to count their slaves as "residents" in order to increase their congressional representation.

Never mind that the slaves had no representation themselves, they just wanted to add them into the head count to get more seats in congress.

And I see the party of the moral descendants of slaveholders is still up to their old tricks...
