NYC Mayor Eric Adams stands by support of bill allowing 800,000 legal noncitizens to vote: ‘It is imperative’

Mayor Eric Adams said he continues to encourage noncitizens to seek American citizenship

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday stood by his support of legislation the city council passed in December that will allow roughly 800,000 legal noncitizens to vote in local elections after earlier expressing concerns over the bill.

Adams, a Democrat who was sworn in on Jan. 1, appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” and was asked what made him change his mind in support of the “Our city, our vote” bill, which became law on Sunday.

Adams said his concerns were over one part of the legislation, which required the legal noncitizen to have lived in the city for at least 30 days.

The mayor said that after he spoke with colleagues and listened to their points of view, he decided it was “more important not to veto the bill or get in the way at all, allow the bill to move forward.”

“I think it is imperative that people who are in a local municipality have the right to decide who is going to govern them,” Adams said.

  1. Adams definitely a turd didn’t run on a platform where immigrants there will be able to vote-if he had he wouldn’t have won. Just another Blasio NY got skunked again.

  2. Just what we need…………illegals voting! You can only guess who they would vote for! Afterall, who let all their illegals asses in?
