800,000 Non-Citizens Can Now Vote in NYC

Last week, the New York City Council voted 33-14 to allow nearly 800,000 non-citizens to vote. The new law would allow foreigners that lived in New York City for just 30 days to vote in municipal elections.

Fox News: The New York City Council on Thursday approved a measure to allow the nearly 800,000 legal non-citizens in the metropolis to vote in municipal elections. The measure, which would affect green card holders and those with work authorizations, doesn’t include state or federal elections and people in the country illegally would not be allowed to vote, according to FOX 5 in New York City. The city would be the largest to allow non-citizens to vote. 

“We pledge action, legal or otherwise, any means necessary to stop this dangerous legislation from undermining our elections,” party chairman Nick Langworthy said. Langworthy said it would “allow foreign powers … the ability to influence U.S. elections.”

In Washington, Democrats continue to push for a federal takeover of elections that would unwind election integrity laws. Republican lawmakers continue to unanimously oppose Joe Biden and congressional Democrats’ power grab.

Bottom Line: Despite strong bipartisan support for election integrity laws — such as voter ID requirements — Democrats across the country continue to undermine the security of our ballot boxes.
