Where are noncitizens allowed to vote in the US?

This same stupid crap from Fox News again? They are being allowed to vote in LOCAL elections.. Not federal elections... This is not some new thing...

Fifteen municipalities across the country allowed noncitizens to vote in local elections as of December 2021. Eleven were located in Maryland, two were located in Vermont, one was located in New York, and the other was San Francisco, California.

Illegal aliens and non-citizens don't have a right to vote.
 

Members acting like oh it's Fox it's a lie, it's made up. Well here it is.



These are just first steps. Remember, baby steps to destroy our election system.....baby steps.

IF NYC want's to hit the self destruct button on it's own democracy that's fine by me, it's not like Wall St hasn't been hitting that button on middle America for the last 40 years.
 
Don't look at me, leftwingers have the double standard. Why don't you explain the history of that to the rest of us. Because it's not at all what you want people to think it is, since every founder who made that argument was a citizen of England.

"No taxation without representation," is an American principle which should be applied to all people and governments generally.

To you, the American principle of "No taxation without representation," only applies to people who are British citizens?

Or what exactly?


Why shouldn't taxpayers have a voice in the cities where they live if those cities give them a vote?

Good for them!

This is nothing new in America.

Love the infantile analogy.

Not at all.

It is about taxation with representation (at the local level). States and the general Government have their own rules.

Of course they are "acting" like it's a lie.

Your claim has always been that it was "illegals" aka "illegal aliens" aka the "unlawfully present" that were in fact voting. Now you're stuck retreating to "non-citizens" hoping people simply assume you're talking about illegals, when in reality your Newsweek links says:
The measure will enable some 800,000 green card holders and authorized workers to participate in city political races but will continue to bar undocumented immigrants from voting. Additionally, non-citizens will still not be permitted to vote in state or federal races.

If the left is so awful, you should be able to easily drum up gold standard proof that millions of illegals voted, were caught, and deported after serving whatever time they served for voter fraud. Snap to it.

There's nothing wrong with people who are lawfully here who have and will be here for sometime voting. They live under our laws. They pay taxes. And they weren't the traitrous scum who did this:

They have a far better claim to voting rights than those who really did try to destroy democracy.
Talk about diluting the vote of the residences of NYC.
Which country can a resident of NYC go to vote as a non-citizen?
Yet another reason to leave.
Don't let the door hit ya'.

Extra credit: it's telling that they start shaking with fear at the thought of someone who isn't a white male Trumpist voting, isn't it? Almost like they know their policies are precisely as ugly as the rest of us have said, eh?

@American: The people YOU support don't want ANYONE to vote at all, which is why they're engaged in a NONSTOP effort to force the idea down our throat that "America is not a democracy" so as far as I am concerned, the people who should not be allowed to vote are people who say America isn't a democracy.
If we're not a democracy, then voting should not exist.

Bye hypocrite.
 
In local elections?
In any election. No where in the Constitution does it say

The people you support are mad because there are too many white people voting.

This is exactly how Fox New survives... Ignorance... Numerous state constitutions allow voting by PEOPLE, not just citizens... In fact, this was very common in past.... The constitution does not control state elections, STATE constitutions control elections for offices within the state.
 
Non-citizens .. lol ... Green card, illegal .. whatever you want to call that bucket of individuals who aren't United States citizens ... Most people call them either "illegal immigrants" (which some municipalities are good with voting), green card holders (legally working in the United States with an end goal of becoming a citizen) or student (learning to be a success). Are Democrats this desperate to secure votes where they are seeking this audience to get them into government? WTF?
Illegal immigrants can't vote in any elections.

The United States Constitution says "citizens".

State constitutions don't overrule The Constitution of The United States. It is the supreme law of the land.

The Democrats' problem with The United States is that there are too many United States citizens in it.
 
Non-citizen legal residents are allowed to vote in local elections because in some places they could potentially outnumber American citizens at times. In this case it wouldn't be fair to let only citizens vote for their local leaders, since this would allow a minority to decide what is best for the majority in that area. They still can't vote in federal elections.

Good lord... The US constitution covers FEDERAL elections... Not STATE elections...
 
Here in Los Angeles, some activists are proposing that students under the age of 18 be allowed to vote for members of the Board of Education.

And since many students here are undocumented young people, presumably they would be allowed to vote along with the students who are citizens.
As they should be.
 
Two Vermont cities have joined the short but growing list of jurisdictions that allow residents who are not U.S. citizens to vote in local elections.

Last week, the Vermont legislature overrode vetoes by Republican Gov. Phil Scott, greenlighting voter-approved changes to the city charters of Montpelier and Winooski. Those cities now allow all residents over age 18 to vote in city elections, regardless of citizenship status. Noncitizen voting in federal elections remains illegal nationwide.

The movement to let all adults vote in local elections hasn’t had widespread success in modern times. Until lately, just San Francisco and nine Maryland cities have allowed noncitizens to vote in local or school board elections. While two towns in Massachusetts have passed resolutions in recent years calling for noncitizens to be allowed to vote locally, the state legislature has yet to approve those changes. But those cities may soon have company.

State governors and legislators swear to uphold The Constitution of The United States and the Constitution is the supreme law of the land.

Article 6:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.


The Constitution says only citizens can vote.
 
Conservative feel voting is so sacred that people (who aren't just like them) shouldn't be allowed to do it.

States control their elections for state offices, not the US constitution... There is absolutely NOTHING unconstitutional about a state allowing noncitizens to vote... Before continuing argue a point clearly wrong, you should educate yourself...

Non citizens should not be allowed to vote period. Period.

Time was when even Democrats understood that.

What's the point of citizenship, rights, borders, sovereignty, and nationhood if Ja-ming, Svetlana, Muumba, Ole, Juanita, and Stan from Kazakhstan can just show up to a poll and vote??

Democrats hate America, hate our nation, hate freedom, and especially hate anyone who speaks out in favor if those things.

Let's get on with the civil war. Enough is enough.
