“direct attack on our representative democracy.” .....
If you are NOT a citizen, are you “entitled” to representation? Since those two bozo attorneys are obviously filing within the 9th Circuit district, need we think Trump will win?

Actually, yes, and it’s always been that way.
The census counts citizens, non-citizen residents, and long-term non-citizen visitors. Unfortunately, it also counts illegal aliens.
Now, since they’re here illegally, they should just be deported, or else a way should be found to let them establish themselves in one of the other three categories above.
Instead, they’re just counted along with everyone else and, yes, given representation in both Congress and the Electoral College.
I’m not even certain that the Supreme Court would rule otherwise, given precedent, so the obvious answer is to control our borders and eject anyone here illegally who can’t be sorted into one of the other categories by legal means.
Absent that, plan on CA having at least one more EV and Congressman than it should and, not so incidentally, one other state (probably a red state) having one less of each than it should.
