Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?

    The only problem there is that the count also determines how federal money is distributed. Undocumented/illegal immigrants still use interstates and water mains and disaster money and national parks and federal buildings. Unless we want funding cut, we still have to count them.
