The US Census counts incarcerated people as residents of prisons, not their home towns — with undemocratic results.

    So, I’m not American so this seems like a weird gripe to me based on the question:

    Do American elections base the persons place of vote where they are living, or where they come from?

      Where they live, and your vote counts for more or less based on that location.

      For example, if you live in Wyoming, your vote for Senate representation counts about 40x as much as a Californian.
