On June 27, a New York State Supreme Court Judge in Richmond County struck down a new New York city ordinance that lets permanent resident non-citizens vote in elections for New York city office. See this story. The ruling says the city could do this, if it amended the city charter with a vote of the electorate. Thanks to Mike Drucker for this news.
UPDATE: the case is Fossella v Adams, 85007/2022. Here is the opinion. Thanks to ElectionLawBlog for the link.
How soon before NYC is a base for commie RED China–
as if the UN HQ in NYC is NOT enough for foreign ENEMY spys, etc. ???
Before/after SF, CA ???
I am glad this got invalidated.
I agree with Andy’s sentiment.
Illegals have no right to vote in America. When Americans visit a foreign country do they expect a right to vote in that country’s elections? NO!
See last para 4 July 1776 DOI.
RED commie regimes [like NYC] do NOT care about any ***allegiance*** in non-commie regimes.
History note –
Any of the olde USA Territories permit voting by foreign folks undergoing 5 year naturalization/residence in USA ???
This case has nothing to do with persons who are in the U.S. illegally.
Definition: A lawful permanent resident is someone who has been granted the right to live in the United States indefinitely. Permanent residence includes the right to work in the U.S. for most employers or for yourself. Permanent residents continue to hold citizenship of another country.
Okay, so official citizens of another country granted permanent residence here can’t vote. Okay. I agree with the courts decision.
Winger supports illegals voting. Prisoners too.
