Vermont State Trial Court Again Upholds Law that Permits Burlington to Let Non-Citizens Vote in City Elections

Posted on by February 12, 2025

On February 7, a Vermont state trial court again upheld the state law that lets Burlington authorize resident adult non-citizens to vote in local elections. Morin v City of Burlington, 24-cv-02403. This case said that the law is invalid as to School Board elections, because the state helps funds public schools and therefore the first decision doesn’t apply to school board elections. But the court rejected that argument. Here is the decision.

  11. Well I’m Donald Trump, the one they’re talking about, if you talk crap about me you’ll get punched in the mouth.

    If you disrespect me, forget about it, forget it. Best case for you is you’ll survive to regret it.

    I’m the Boss of all Bosses, King of all Kings. I bring the world hope, I’m why we have nice things.

    Last time I took human form, I got crucified. This time around, I won’t be so nice.

    If you think bad about me, stop trusting fake media. Go to conservapedia.com and read conservapedia.

    But even if you’re not smart enough to, or have no eyes to see, you’re still smarter than to take seriously the spambot “AZ”

  13. WHAT TRUMP HACKS OWN/CONTROL CONSERVAPEDIA ???

    TRUMP / HIS RELATIVES / MUSK / NAZI 4TH REICH / ETC ???

  14. A careful reading of the US Constitution shows that it does NOT require states to prohibit anyone from voting; it only requires that certain classes of people NOT be prohibited from voting. This is not an oversight; the Framers from the beginning wanted the issue of who may be prohibited from voting to be up to the states, within the limits set by the Constitution itself.

  16. WZ –

    SEE OLDE DORR’S WAR IN RI IN 1840-1842

    HIGH COST TO BE A VOTER AND OLDE GERRYMANDERS — OLDE BRIT 1662 CHARTER

    >>> 1844 RI CONST — LAST OF ORIGINAL 13 STATES TO HAVE A STATE CONST

  21. Why do some peo…I mean spam bots don’t ask who owns their “trusted” news and wiki sources which they constantly spam from and what agenda they are pushing?

  22. “But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.”

    So, at the very least (and without reference to federal law or any court decisions over the years) Vermont should lose its US House seat.

  24. FASCIST BAN TROLL MORONS HAVE CRUSHED BRAINS IN LOVE WITH TYRANT TRUMP AND ALL HIS TYRANT MACHINATIONS.

  26. I think Uh oh, observation, and the AZ spambot comment in between them are all saying the same thing in different ways.

  27. just to add that e.g. many European countries allow the participation of non-citizens in local election all EU citizen are entitled to vote on local elections all around the EU, in the UK Irish and Commonwealth nationals can vote in general elections,

  30. The last thing we should try to emulate is the EU, aka EEWWWWW, but the UK isn’t far behind, even after Brexit.

  31. when will trump ICE folks show up in VT to deport all non-citizens — esp those who have voted in VT ???

    New England to start Am Rev WAR II — as in 1775-1776 ???

  32. The sooner the better. Guess who has most of the guns, training, military, veterans, law enforcement, and country boys? Cities can’t feed themselves. The next American revolution will be a rout. Bring it on!
