What's wrong with this picture?

As much as I hate to admit it, I think you're on to something there!

I personally believe it should be a citizen count.

It doesn't really matter though. I think the odds are that we have had our last legitimate election. Acorn, union and political thugs, illegals voting, and the dems deliberately concentrating on getting control of the vote counters have made it unlikely we will see true election results anymore.

This is not true! We have a bicameral legislature, where the lower house is apportioned according to population (House of Representatives) and the upper house (Senate) is apportioned 2 to each state.

So even in North Dakota only has 640k residents it gets 2 votes in the senate, just like California with 37m residents. In fact because there is a minimum of 1 in the H.R. those North Dakotans are still over-represented per capita.
