President Signs Order to Prevent Illegal Aliens from Being Counted for Redistricting
The entire point of counting illegal non-citizens is to tip redistricting in favor of Democrats. There is no reason to believe they should be counted.

Shouldn’t a Debate Impart Information to the Audience?

You Don’t Vote for the President – And Probably Never Will
Yesterday, the US 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on a suit over whether states have the authority to force their electors to vote for the winner of the popular vote. It turns out, according to the opinion, the states do not have that authority under the Constitution.
