Glad to see this conversation engaged, and look forward to reading Carl's analysis. A few years back, Chuck Bullock, Justin Wert, and I jumped into this topic about in "Seats, Votes, Citizens, and the One Person, One Vote Problem." Stanford Law & Public Policy Review. Main take-away:

"But the citizenship apportionment approach has problems. The courts consistently recognize that there are other aspects of representation, and these are also subject to consideration when equalizing representative district populations. A variety of other rights and liberties require access to government, and those rights and liberties exist for all persons in the United States-not just citizen voters. Taken in combination with the practical issues of implementing citizen-based apportionment, the concept, while novel and intriguing in the abstract, becomes less attractive to courts and states."

Election Law Colleagues:

Check out my state by state analysis of which states might exclude non-citizens from redistricting population counts--and for which states it's simply too late to do so.

Also check out my analysis of the consequences of excluding non-citizens from population counts for Latino and African-American state legislators and U.S. Representatives, and for how many seats the Democrats will win in each state, done when the Evenwel case was being heard.

Here is the abstract:

he addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 census could affect the self-response rate, a key driver of the cost and quality of a census. We find that citizenship question response patterns in the American Community Survey (ACS) suggest that it is a sensitive question when asked about administrative record noncitizens but not when asked about administrative record citizens. ACS respondents who were administrative record noncitizens in 2017 frequently choose to skip the question or answer that the person is a citizen. We predict the effect on self-response to the entire survey by comparing mail response rates in the 2010 ACS, which included a citizenship question, with those of the 2010 census, which did not have a citizenship question, among households in both surveys. We compare the actual ACS-census difference in response rates for households that may contain noncitizens (more sensitive to the question) with the difference for households containing only U.S. citizens. We estimate that the addition of a citizenship question will have an 8.0 percentage point larger effect on self-response rates in households that may have noncitizens relative to those with only U.S. citizens. Assuming that the citizenship question does not affect unit self-response in all-citizen households and applying the 8.0 percentage point drop to the 28.1 % of housing units potentially having at least one noncitizen would predict an overall 2.2 percentage point drop in self-response in the 2020 census, increasing costs and reducing the quality of the population count.

Recall that at oral argument in the census case, Justice Gorsuch sought to minimize census department studies which predicted (a smaller) response rate drop.

Nearly 100 internal Trump transition vetting documents leaked to “Axios on HBO” identify a host of “red flags” about officials who went on to get some of the most powerful jobs in the U.S. government.

Why it matters: The massive trove, and the story behind it, sheds light on the slap-dash way President Trump filled his cabinet and administration, and foreshadowed future scandals that beset his government….

One heading in the document about Kris Kobach, in the running for Homeland Security Secretary, listed “white supremacy” as a vulnerability. It cited accusations from past political opponents that he had ties to white supremacist groups.

With potentially hundreds of thousands of California voters under the mistaken belief that they are registered as independent from partisan affiliation, newly drafted state legislation could end the confusion by forcing one minor political party to change its name.

The proposal, to be introduced in the state Senate on Friday, would ban any party from using the word “independent” in its official name beginning in next year’s statewide elections — a change largely directed at the American Independent Party of California.

The change of stance comes amid concerns over the security of elections following Russia’s interference effort i<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.cnn.com_2019_04_18_politics_russian-2Dhacking-2Dmueller-2Dreport_index.html&d=DwMFaQ&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=itJIms9G3wxvyGkmVqA7xg&m=uespJP4dHcvUoteulOAVtyYCD_nhOgloEO7EwYfNLYk&s=nA8KUiupRrbBraV8uxoJlIM9VgwskCFpndtQCj5MA_E&e=>n the 2016 presidential election.
“There’s a big recognition today that auditing is important, and to do a proper audit you need a piece of paper,” Kathy Rogers, Election Systems & Software senior vice president of government relations, told CNN.
“I’ll tell you it’s a decision that came at a cost. We’ve lost a few sales because of it. But we think it’s the right thing to do,” Rogers said….

But critics say Election Systems & Software’s open pivot to paper is simply marketing, after the company saw that paperless machines were on the way out.
“After years of selling voting equipment that it knew was insecure, and fighting tooth and nail against real election security, ES&S is finally admitting that paper ballots are the most secure system currently available,” Sen. Ron Wyden, whose PAVE Act is one of the strictest security bills introduced in the Senate, told CNN in a statement.
“If it is serious about this change of heart, ES&S would tell its friends in Georgia and Speaker McConnell to stop standing in the way of the PAVE Act’s common-sense requirements to protect American democracy,” the Oregon Democrat said.

Here's the clip. Trump falsely claims that California "admitted to a million votes," which of course is utter nonsense.

California agreed to clean up its voter rolls. It did not admit (nor is there evidence) of the kind of voter fraud Trump is referring to

Seven months ago, almost two-thirds of voters approved Amendment 4, which restores registration rights to many felons. Florida had been one of three states, along with Kentucky and Iowa, where those convicted of a felony were permanently prohibited from registering without going through a lengthy clemency process, and many saw Floridians’ vote as bringing the state into the U.S. mainstream. Only those convicted of murder and sexual offenses still are excluded.

However, Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to sign a bill within days that critics say will blunt much of Amendment 4’s impact. The bill passed by the Republican-led Legislature would require felons to pay off restitution, court fees and fines before registering — a move that voting rights advocates say could have a chilling effect. So far, the number of former inmates who have visited a local supervisor of elections office to register has been a modest 2,000, according to one estimate.

Arkansas’ GOP-dominated Legislature has taken steps this year that will make it harder to put such proposals before voters, and they are not the only ones.
Florida, North Dakota, South Dakota and Utah also have enacted restrictions on the public’s ability to place initiatives on the ballot. In Michigan, the state’s top election official is being sued over Republican-enacted requirements that make it harder to qualify proposals for the ballot.
In all, lawmakers in 16 states introduced more than 120 bills this year that would weaken the initiative process, according to the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center. The moves worry advocates who say they undermine the idea of direct democracy and could effectively shut down the initiative process in some states.
