    What non-citizens actually affect is house representation based on population, even though they aren’t allowed to vote in congressional elections. Republicans leverage gerrymandering to capture the power of the populated areas with limited registered voters. Just another reason why it’s so important we all vote in all elections. Democratic turnout has been below 50% for the last three elections, with a record high for a midterm election of 49% in 2018.
