I admittedly might be mistaken, but I was under the impression that was at least in part why the whole citizenship question on the census was such a big deal. To prevent non-citizens from counting towards EC votes (and House Representatives).
It would not. You would still have the same issue because of the cap in place on the number of Representatives in the House. Also, apportionment is based on the number of persons, not citizens, per the Constitution. Citizenship status has no bearing on apportionment.
