ICYMI: U.S. Congressman Max Miller Votes to Ensure That Only Americans Have a Voice in American Elections

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Max Miller (OH-07) released the following statement regarding his vote in support of H.R. 7109, the Equal Representation Act. The measure passed with a vote of 206 – 202.  

“Yesterday, I voted to pass the Equal Representation Act because Congress should represent Americans. Currently, apportionment of congressional seats and the Electoral College is based on how many people live in a certain state. This means that people who are not citizens are included in the population that determines how many congressional districts and Electoral College each state gets.  Only Americans should have a voice in American elections. If Congress does not take action to change this practice, more than 7.2 million illegal immigrants who have entered our country under President Biden will be included in the 2030 census for congressional representation. 

The Equal Representation Act requires the decennial census to include a citizenship question and excludes noncitizens from the population on which the apportionment of U.S. House Representatives and electors for each state is based. House Republicans won’t allow illegal immigrants to weaken the representation of American citizens who lawfully participate in elections.”
