That is currently my biggest argument for the electoral college, because it at least limits a state like California’s ability to sway a presidential election. They can remove all the protections so illegals can vote, but they can only really hurt their own citizens, and not dilute the votes of the rest of the country.

Now, what we also need is a regulatory change such that an “illegal immigrant” cannot be counted as a “resident” of a “state”. If you are illegal, you can’t really live in any particular state, and so you should not be counted as a resident — otherwise, illegals dilute the voting power of citizens and the general power of legal residents in other states.

If people keep escaping from that socialist hellhole, they may actually lose electoral votes.
