7 States are Pushing Non-Citizen Voting

Several states in the U.S. are pushing for non-citizen voting, something that has been a long-standing debate with the recent increase in immigration = both legal and illegal.

Several states in the U.S. are pushing for non-citizen voting, something that has been a long-standing debate with the recent increase in immigration – both legal and illegal.

So far, efforts to expand non-citizen voting don’t apply to national elections for president or Congress, nor to state offices like governor or state legislator. However, democrats have brought this to the table.


Indeed, as reported by the Daily Signal, Congress passed legislation in 1996 prohibiting noncitizens from voting in federal elections. State constitutions vary, although so far the idea has been a local matter.


Local laws also vary. Some apply only to legal residents, like green card holders, while others apply to illegal immigrants as well.

States where local jurisdictions allow non-citizens to vote or are considering doing so include Maryland, California, Illinois, Vermont, District of Columbia, New York and Massachusetts.

In Takoma Park, Maryland, non-citizens have been allowed to vote since March of 1991. Since that time, nine other local jurisdictions have followed suit: Barnesville, Chevy Chase, Garrett Park, Glen Echo, Martin’s Additions and Somerset.

In California, the Los Angeles Unified School District authorized a study in 2019 to determine whether voting eligibility should extend to non-citizens. The change would require voters to approve a ballot question. If it goes that way, Los Angeles would follow in San Francisco’s footsteps, as the city allows non-citizens to vote in school board elections.

In Illinois, state Sen. Celina Villanueva proposed last June to allow non-citizens to vote in local school board elections statewide. Illinois was the first state to provide Medicaid coverage to residents, regardless of immigration status, and Chicago was the first major city to allow non-citizen voting in 1989.

In Vermont, voters in two cities approved measures to allow non-citizens to vote in local elections for offices like mayor, city council and school board. The RNC, Vermont Republican Party and a group of voters sued the two cities in response.

In D.C., council member Brianne Nadeau reintroduced a bill to allow non-citizens to vote in local elections, making legal permanent residents eligible to vote for mayor, attorney general, council, school board and advisory neighborhood commissions.

The New York City Council is reviewing a proposal to enfranchise non-citizens for local elections. The change, if enacted, would allow more than 600,000 non-citizens to vote in local elections.


In Massachusetts, six cities have started the process of considering giving non-citizens the ability to vote.

On the other hand, voters in four states have blocked non-citizens from voting: Colorado, Alabama, Florida and North Dakota.

More sensationalist bullshit that will go no where. But it satisfies the narrative that we should be afraid of everything and everyone who doesn't fit in my specific idea of utopia.

How do you feel about the long noses and joggers OP? Still worried the migrants will take your job at McDonald's?

Better be scared, better be worried better cry on kiwi farms where it will definitely make a difference.

Be scared of deez nutz, faggot.

 

[Getwhatyou]

Meanwhile they sure want people on the left to be scared of muh WHITE SUPREMACIST NAZIS literally lynching every minority they see while yelling "THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY!!!"

My point exactly. Wandering through life scared.

WHAT THE FUCK, MA

 

[Myles the Potatophile]

Should the pendulum swing back the other way, could this later be used to find illegals and remove them?

 

[EepEep]

Years of not shutting the fuck up about "Russian Collusion" and now this. I love it. And by love it, I mean I won't feel bad when these cunts kids get hit and run over by some illegal fuck that should have never been here.

 

[FFinfo]

States that allow noncitizens to vote locally should be summarily kicked out of the union. Barring that, they should lose all federal funding permanently.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

At this point the question is what's the point in being a citizen.

 

[Drag-on Knight 91873]

The USA should mail a ballot to every person on Earth for every election, why the fuck not right, I mean, we're all citizens of the world :^)

That is how the US can become conservative again. Muslims, Indians, and Chinese are not fans of LGBT faggotry. Being free, well, no one wants freedom to begin with.

 

[Uncle June]

WHAT THE FUCK, MA

Are you truly surprised?

Of all of those states, MA may be the most hyper-leftist. Tough call between them and NY.

 

[Product Placement]

Wait there is a place called Chevy Chase

 

[Equivocal_Iki]

What's the actual argument for this? Whoever's for this, please explain why you are for it. I want to see both sides on the issue to get a better understanding.

Vermont exists.

 

[Uncle June]

Vermont exists.

Vermont has always been an odd one to me. You're absolutely right to say they're uber-blue, but they also hold the distinction of being one of the most pro 2nd amendment states. Kind of contradictive.

 

[Unyielding Stupidity]

What's the actual argument for this? Whoever's for this, please explain why you are for it. I want to see both sides on the issue to get a better understanding.

The argument in support of this is purely "non-citizens are more likely to vote for the candidates I like". Any other reason they give you is 100% bullshit, and only stated because their actual reason makes them look bad.

I'm curious as to what the bullshit arguments are.

Of course.

 

[Salubrious]

They don't care if you're noticing.

Agreed. When you notice, they'll just start screaming racism until you back down.

 

[Fek]

At this point the question is what's the point in being a citizen.

That's the point. Nationalism contradicts and repels globalization. The elite want everyone globalized. No nations, no citizens of nations, no national pride, no working together for your own societal benefit. As heatherecho already eluded to, the elite don't care if the pace at which they're accelerating plans is noticed by more and more people. They think they've got the entire civilized world (particularly white nations) primed to accept it between all the fear and chaos they're causing. There's a reason so much bad shit seems to be happening across the world all at once right now (and I didn't even link to all of it). Not one bit of this is organic. It is by design. Deliberate.

 

[FAQnews Correspondent]

Why should non-citizens of a country be allowed to vote in said country's elections at any level of government? As a non-citizen of a country, why should you have any say in that country's government? The idea of this makes absolutely no sense to me. If you wish to vote in elections within a country, become a legal citizen of that country, if you can't, well tough shit, go back to your own country and vote...

How does it make any fucking sense for a non-citizen of a country to be able to vote in said country's elections? Would it make any sense for me to hop the border into Canada and be able to vote?

They're being a little too obvious with their agendas and they somehow think we aren't noticing.

When their agents chant "No Borders, No Wall, No USA at All," they mean it. Listen to them, they are telling you what they want.

If I'm a non-citizen, I can work, collect benefits, get state-funded healthcare, and even vote - but I also don't need to be documented, am beyond the reach of the IRS, and am given privileged treatment by journos and politicians alike.

Remind me again why I have to be a citizen...? Is there any benefit whatsoever to being a citizen of the United States?


Sorry, Kiwifarms, but the Democrats have it right this time. Rather than moaning about it, start declaring yourselves to be Article IV free inhabitants of the United States, and get in on this sweet non-citizen action before they try to close the loopholes again!
