JTN:
The House on Thursday passed a resolution with bipartisan support disapproving of a District of Columbia measure to allow non-citizens to vote in local elections.
The D.C. measure was passed by the Democrat-led City Council this past fall.
The resolution in the GOP-controlled House passed wit the support of 42 Democrats.
The final vote was 260-162, with all of the “no” votes coming from Democrat members.
Washington, D.C., has so-called “home rule,” which allows residents to govern in local affairs. However, Congress reviews all legislation passed by the council before it can become law and retains authority over the District’s budget.
Republicans once again controlling the House was expected to result in added scrutiny.
The measure passed in the House reads: “This joint resolution nullifies the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, enacted by the council of the District of Columbia. The act allows non-citizens who meet residency and other requirements to vote in local elections in the district,” read the resolution that passed.”
In addition, the House also passed a bipartisan bill 250-173 opposing the D.C. government’s changes to criminal laws such as modifying sentencing guidelines. MORE
Good!
Too bad they can’t do something about New Mexico who is introducing a bill to lower the voting age to 16.
They are stealing our country through the back doors we’ve somehow left open.
Bread and circuses….
Well, no shit. They have no skin in the game.
Swell… democRATz will now be sending mail-in ballots to the rest of the planet!
You can’t be a Republican anymore if you aren’t a Democrat.
