Default Interesting question in the Snooze Press

Local paper Ft Myers News-Press

They bring up the issue of congressional districts and by extension
the electoral college. Should they be apportioned based on total
population or just eligible voters?
Doesn't doing it by total population give added power to those voters?
If you are talking about minor family members, people are representing
their kids but what if it is an area with a lot of non voting aliens,
legal or illegal and a lower percentage of voting citizens. Aren't
their votes going to carry more power and may not actually reflect the
desires of the non-voting population although they get the value of
their numbers?

I don't really have an opinion because I think it all comes out in the
wash but I assume there are opinions on it.
