Re: Supreme Court appears likely to allow Trump Administration census rigging plan

Too bad the Constitution says otherwise.

And the interpretation couldn't be clearer. Back in 1866, they clearly used the word "persons," instead of "men," even though women couldn't vote. There was a clear intention that representatives did not merely represent voters but also those persons in their districts who could not vote. Similarly, children can't vote, but are nevertheless counted.
