How the election would have gone without rotten boroughs

Here is the map if illegal immigrants were not counted in congressional apportionment:

308-230

Wow, more or less the same.

How does New York gain electoral votes?

[Antonio the Sixth]

Your point?

[Figueira]

Who cares? The only "fair" way of doing it is a national popular vote, which Clinton would have won.

So basically what you are saying is nothing changes?

And, why are you using the phrase "rotten boroughs?"  Seems kind of suspect.

A large noncitizen population implies that the municipality will have considerably fewer eligible voters than it ought to.

Trump was denied 2 electoral votes by this error in apportionment (fewer than I thought when I started the map). Although insignificant, they are a few scenarios where it might have made the difference.

Sorry dude, I don't see it.  If anything wouldn't a district with a large non-citizen population actually benefit Trump?  I mean if they can't vote yet that is just less Democratic voters.  I understand a lot of these areas are already heavily Democratic to begin with, but let's not act like it was or could have been some sort of "deciding" factor.

It doesn't benefit anyone.  All it does is move congressmen and Electoral votes around.  I haven't added up or researched his numbers, but it appears that he is alleging that California has extra representation (at the expense of NY and NJ) and Texas has extra representation (at the expense of MT and OH); so the net result is nearly a wash.
