Beacon hill just voted to count illegal immigrants in the census because of fear of losing yet another democrat congressional seat. Ummmmm, don't the federal rules govern census data used for districting?

Ummmmm, don't the federal rules govern census data used for districting?The "federal rule" is in the Constitution. It simply says there will be "an enumeration" of the populace in each state every ten years. It makes no difference as to citizenship, incarceration, military assignment, etc. If you live in a state, you are counted toward that state's representation in the House of Representatives.
