“a citizenship question to the census would allow Republicans to draft even more extreme gerrymandered maps to stymie Democrats”

Yes, it would.
Because ILLEGALS would not be counted.
It ain’t nefarious.
It’s Good Governance.

Because ILLEGALS would not be counted.

Actually, according to census.gov, they are counted for apportionment. Also, we must make a distinction between legal and illegal residents. My wife has a green card. She is Canadian. She does not vote, but she counts in the Census. I don't think the Trump census question even asks if any are here illegally (might be a Fifth Amendment issue).
