I believe that there is shit-all the fed. .gov can do about illegals voting in local elections. Their purview only extends to state wide/national elections.

Those are done at the local level and applies to non-citizens not illegals

You are a legal resident, you work, pay taxes and send your kids to local schools.
You should be able to vote on who runs those schools

the bill as submitted, as it is written allows the federal government to disapprove it. Republicans must stop it. I suspect dementia joe is all for it

if you are a legal resident and you want to have the same rights as US citizens then become a US citizen.

Many of them are working towards citizenship.
In the mean time, they work, pay taxes, start businesses and live in the community.

They send their kids to local schools which they pay taxes for

They should have a voice in how that school is run regardless of citizenship

when they become citizens they will have the same rights as citizens.

Many communities feel otherwise

What’s stupid is making accusations absent a link in support.

Since the OP can't or won't include a link for discussion, here is the best I can find. And it looks like the story isn't over yet.

This is a lie.

The measure concerns non-citizens residents, not those ‘illegal.’

“The first resolution took aim at D.C.’s Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act, which allows noncitizen residents to vote in local elections. The D.C. Council approved the measure in October.”

you mean you are too stupid to google it.

The thread premise is a lie; typical of the dishonest right.

A link was likely excluded intentionally because it would expose the lie.
