Shouldn't all voters' votes matter?
Even if a third party's platform better coincides with the opinions of many voters, most U.S. voters will not ”squander” their vote, but they rather choose what they consider to be the lesser of two evils, (i.e. between the Democrat or Republican) candidate. In regard to many issues they consider to be of importance, an overwhelming majority of U.S. voters' viewpoints substantially differ from those of their congressional representatives.

I advocate that although only winning candidates are designated their districts' congressional representative, each candidate should be empowered with a portion of a single vote, (i.e. a weighted vote) within the U.S. House of Representatives. The weighted portion is the portion the candidate's votes, among all votes cast for electing the district's congressional representative.

Only those designated as their congressional districts' representative, may vote on any matter brought to a vote within the U.S. House of Representatives.

All congressional representative candidates may temporarily register their assigning of all their weighted vote to any district's representative. The assignment must be for specified dates or topics to be voted upon.

All congressional representative candidates may assign their vote to multiple district representatives, but not for the same dates or the same topics.

All congressional representative candidates at any time may register their rescinding of their assignment to any district's representative, (but not for votes previously exercised).

Respectfully, Supposn

The millions of votes from aliens (legal or illegal) should not matter. They are illegal votes. and should not be permitted to be cast or counted. Unfortunately, not one of the 50 states has a PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP requirement, and thus there is nothing to stop aliens from voting, and they do in very large numbers.

And why wouldn't they ? Their residency here in the US depends on who gets elected, with Democrats welcoming them (for their VOTES), and Republicans looking to deport them.

If there are millions, or thousands, or dozens of illegal voters, why can't the Republicans find them? Thus far, among the extremely few illegal voters uncovered within both Democratic and Republican-administered states and/or congressional districts, the majority of those deliberately voting illegally were right wingers.

Excerpted from PolitiFact| Do states verify citizenship of voters in federal elections? :
“...Trump said, "No state in the country verifies United States citizenship as a condition for voting in federal elections."

The kernel of truth here is that the federal form to register to vote doesn’t require documentation to prove citizenship. But applicants who use that federal form, or register using state forms, must attest to being citizens. Voter registration forms warn applicants that signing the form with false information is a crime. There have been scattered cases of non-citizens who cast ballots, but among millions of votes cast they are statistically rare.

Some states told us that they access federal or state databases to verify citizenship of voters. Such methods have sometimes erroneously flagged citizen voters. While they are not foolproof, they do contradict Trump’s claim that no states verify U.S. citizenship for federal elections.

We rate this statement Mostly False. ...”.

1. I don't read anything from PolitiFarce - they don't know how many aliens are voting, and for them to claim they do, is a laughingstock.
2. The reason why alien voters aren't found is because nobody knows they are aliens.

[Thus far, among the extremely few illegal voters uncovered within both Democratic and Republican-administered states and/or congressional districts, the majority of those convicted of deliberately voting illegally, were right-wingers]. Applicators registering to vote in federal elections all attested to their U.S. citizenship. There are penalties for false applicators,

Our U.S. Congress hasn't passed a law requiring applicants registering to vote in federal elections to provide proof of their citizenship. You (I suppose) attribute congresses' lack of concern as due to the many federal elected officials owing their election to illegal voters? Our federal courts cannot permit the enforcement of a law that doesn't exist.
That's the crux of your dilemma. Respectfully, Supposn
