So do we get an extra vote per child?

Is it more of the person who claims the child on their taxes gets the extra vote?

Does custody play into this? In other words, I get to claim one kid on my taxes, and my ex gets the other kid…

…or because she’s a woman, she shouldn’t be voting in the first place, so I get both kids’ and her votes?

Either way, I wouldn’t mind legally voting for Kamala two or four times in November. 😁

If historical precedent is any guide, they’ll count each child as an extra 3/5 of a vote.

I couldn't resist. This is from the video game episode of Community, where a legal contract being presented on the fly is actually the text of the 3/5ths compromise.
