If every illegal alien was deported from California, how many congressional seats and electoral votes would the state lose?
Answer O’ The Day
California’s congressional representation and electoral votes are determined by the U.S. Census, which counts all residents, including undocumented immigrants. Experts estimate that California has two to four more seats in the U.S. House than it would if illegal aliens were excluded from census counts. Since the number of electoral votes is directly tied to congressional representation, this means California could also lose two to four electoral votes.
