"Illegal aliens set to tilt Yakima, Wash. election scales by being included in district headcounts"
I can't conceive that illegals could or should be able to influence anything in America.

Caroline May offers this story at DailyCaller.com:
"Since last year, the United States Department of Justice has been arguing that illegals in districts throughout the city of Irving, Texas can be counted to determine district lines. Under the one-man-one-vote principle, the pursuit has resulted in the dilution of actual citizen’s votes – for by drawing districts using total population rather than the population of citizens, the districts have been drawn unevenly.
In other words, if each district hypothetically were required to have 10,000 people (both illegal aliens and citizens) then a district with only 8,000 citizens would have the same number of council members as a district with 10,000 citizens."
