The D.C. government took a step this week toward allowing the 50,000 non-citizen in the district to vote as Texas Governor Greg Abbott continues to bus migrants to the liberal city.
In a 12-1 vote on Tuesday, the D.C. Council voted to change the election code to permit all noncitizens residing in the District of Columbia to vote in local elections, bringing an end to a near decade-long effort.
The bill, if passed in a second vote, would enfranchise all noncitizens including green-card holders, temporary residents holding visas and undocumented immigrants.
It comes as thousands of migrants have been sent from Texas by bus to D.C. in an initiative by Governor Abbott to bring the southern border crisis to Democratic sanctuary cities and the helm of federal decision-making that impacts border policies.
The relocation of incoming border-crossers, especially to some high profile locations, has become a popular method of protest for border states who feel pleas for assistance are being ignored by the Biden administration.
Noncitizens who otherwise qualify for voting in the District would be able to cast ballots in local races, including for mayor, attorney general, school board and for members and the chair of the D.C. Council.
They would not, however, be able to vote in federal elections.
just one more trick from the dems … should never even been considered… non citizen aka illegal aliens do NOT get to vote. they can go back to their countries and vote there. or wait until they become ciizens here.
Make her put them up IN her place !!!!!
Post Border Patrol agents outside the polls. No many illegals will vote then.
