Even not voting, migrants give Democrats 14 more electoral votes – Washington Examiner
The article titled “Even not voting, migrants give Democrats 14 more electoral votes” discusses the political impact of migration on the Electoral College in the United States. It highlights how the influx of millions of migrants, both legal and illegal, has shifted political power towards Democrats, even though these migrants do not have the right to vote.
The analysis draws from recent studies by the Center for Immigration Studies, which state that the U.S. Census counts all residents, including noncitizens, when apportioning seats in the House of Representatives and, consequently, Electoral College votes. The 2020 Census led to a redistribution of 17 House seats, resulting in a gain of 14 seats and corresponding electoral votes for Democrats.
Moreover, since the last census, approximately 10 million more migrants have entered the U.S., which could further change the allocation by potentially adding 13 more electoral votes for Democrats. The article underscores the significant influence immigration has on political representation, independent of the voting rights of the migrants involved.
Even not voting, migrants give Democrats 14 more electoral votes
The influx of millions of migrants has shifted political power in the nation to Democrats, even though they are not allowed to vote, according to a new analysis of the Electoral College and constitutional representation.
While they may be considered noncitizens, illegal and legal migrants are counted by the census, and those numbers are used to shift congressional districts, which affect electoral votes, according to two new studies from the Center for Immigration Studies.
“Immigration shifts political power in the United States — without a single immigrant having to vote. Seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and thus votes in the Electoral College are apportioned among the states based on each one’s total population — not by the number of citizens or legal residents,” CIS said.
In two reports just issued, CIS said the 2020 census shifted 17 House seats and led to a gain for Democrats of 14 seats and electoral votes, which are based on House seats.
Since that census and during the Biden-Harris administration, 10 million more legal and illegal migrants have come into the U.S., a number that alone could shift 13 more electoral votes.

“If the total legal and illegal immigrant population continues to grow at the current rapid pace, immigrants would redistribute approximately 22 seats in the 2030 census,” said Steven Camarota, the center’s director of research.
“Illegal immigrants captured in the 2020 census redistributed two seats. If the illegal immigrant population continues to grow at the current pace, it will redistribute seven seats by 2030,” he said.

Republicans have long argued that the Biden-Harris open border agenda was aimed at cementing Democratic power in Washington. Most of those who enter the country legally and illegally head to Democratic-controlled cities, boosting and expanding the party’s lock on the Electoral College used to select presidents.
“Districts where noncitizens comprise a large share of the population tend to vote Democratic, while high-citizenship districts tend to vote Republican. Of the 24 districts where 1 in 5 adults is not an American citizen, 20 were won by a Democrat in 2022. In contrast, the Democrat won in just five of the 54 districts where 98% of adults are citizens,” CIS added.
