How come election law errors census errors, and other rules always benefit Democrats?

In Sum and substance he did. In 2006, Wikiquote dug up a source: The Memoirs of Stalin’s Former Secretaryby Boris Bazhanov, published in 2002. Translated from the Russian, the version which, according to Bazhanov, was uttered in 1923 by Stalin in reference to a vote in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, was this:

“I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.“

Of course that quote is talking about control of the Russian Communist Party, where the concept of any sort of voting rights was largely a joke. In the context of an actual election, the quote is nonsense (at least to date) and completely irrelevant to this thread.

Left-wing systemic corruption.

Parsing again? Elections are elections. The quote is pertinent and accurate actually

This is complete gibberish. Congressional districts are established AFTER the statewide census results are in.

That has literally nothing to do with the point of my post. Read it again.

What does any of that have to do with the census and congressional apportionment? And saying that the people who vote don’t decide an election is nonsense.

Don’t believe everything you read online. (Stalin never said that.)

Here’s Stalin’s quote…. "It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything."

It's the fact that a sanctuary district can have 1/3rd the US Citizens living there as a district with little or no illegals, and get a seat in the House just like a district with three times the amount of US Citizens in it. Duh.

Do you have any actual sources for those numbers? The fact is, however, that it is not an error if Congressional districts are apportioned based on people in the district, including documented and undocumented immigrants. It was the drafters of the 14th Amendment who concluded that Congressional apportionment was to be done based on the numbers of persons (not just citizens) residing within a district.

Did anyone ever make an argument which counters the theme of this thread?
