Some have
suggested:
'“shift power markedly at every level, away from cities and neighborhoods with many immigrants and many children and toward the older, whiter, more exclusively native-born areas in which a higher proportion of the total population consists of eligible voters.”'

They will tear it apart one smooth-sounding argument at a time.

If you live in an urban district that is disproportionately populated with illegal aliens then logic dictates that it is YOU whose vote is disproportionate and not the white suburbanite who lives in a district of mostly white suburbanites.
This is the opposite of what these mathematically challenged people are arguing.

hell, i will go farther than this..
why do people who do not pay property taxes get to vote on property tax increases???
why do you think every municipality has minimum high density housing requirements??
so apartment dwellers and condo owners can out vote the property owners...
property taxes are a crime...

since we allow US citizens to vote although they are living abroad, it would seem to be discriminatory not to allow non-citizens how are living abroad not to vote.

It isn’t rocket science. It means: Each citizen may cast one vote.

a bedrock principle of the American political system: the meaning of “one person one vote.” That phrase is not a bedrock of anything. "One man, one vote," as the liberals used to call it in the 1960s, is an anti-Federalist bit of Communist clap-trap, another attempt to bypass the words of the Constitution to push toward gerrymandered, "democratic" elections. This idea began as yet more election-tinkering to make vote fraud in favor of Democrats easier.
To: Theoria
The Founders’ infamous argument over counting slaves for purposes of representation should determine this issue.
Only citizens count.
No doubt, the ‘progressives’ will try to get 3/5 of the illegals counted...

I must have missed something. Does the Constitution use the expression “one man one vote”?
I agree about property tax. Now THAT should be unconstitutional. Some pay and some don’t?

Art 1, Sec 2: Enumeration ...every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.
Districts are based on the census. The census is based on the above “they shall by Law direct”
So are fake conservatives now asking the Court to pass another law?

The left will try anything and in the meantime the Feds ruled 2-1 against Obama. It is time to impeach him.
