You either just flat out don't know how it works or you're just playing that card where someone makes a factual comment about how our system works and you play dumb.
The distribution of seats in the House is referred to as apportionment, which is based on states total population and includes illegal immigrants. A national census is taken every 10 years to apportion seats in the House, but as CIS reported, the Constitution offers no method for apportionment, nor a method for compiling total population for apportionment. Currently, the resident population includes illegal aliens.Illegal immigration played a significant role in the redistribution of seats in the past. In 1990, 12 seats were redistributed, and in 2000, 16 seats were redistributed. Louisiana was one of the states adversely affected.
In 2000, four states either lost a seat or didnt gain a seat they otherwise would have, and five states had one seat fewer than it otherwise would have.
Five states actually gained seats because of illegal aliens. Nine redistributed seats went to California alone.

Then we have a decision by the supreme court:
A unanimous Supreme Court ruled Monday that illegal immigrants and other noncitizens can be counted when states draw their legislative districts, shooting down a challenge by Texas residents who said their own voting power was being diluted.Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for the court, said even though only eligible voters are supposed to cast ballots, elected officials represent all people within their districts, and it is that act of representation, not the election itself, that the boundaries are drawn to.

The EC can be fixed, just have a computer create the districts. No more cracking and packing. 84% of the us population resides in urbanized areas mostly on the coasts and no one wants that to be the most important factor when the us has a culture not defined simply by the coasts. The way it's supposed to work coequal.
