It's Official: San Francisco To Allow Non-Citizens To Vote

In just a few days, immigrants who are not yet citizens will go to the polls in San Francisco and legally vote.

Fewer said non-citizens have been restrained from exercising their vote by the temper of the times.

" the long-range plans Democrats have for a ruling majority depend on continuous law-breaking to get enough non-Americans to vote.

"A sound immediate step would be for Congress to pass a law reaffirming that you must be an American citizen to vote in all American elections. Let's see how many Democrats would oppose this simple requirement," he wrote.

The group found that in Virginia, about 5,600 voters on the rolls were not citizens, and that a third had voted in past elections.

"Our voter registration system masks non-citizens and allows the opportunity to vote until they decide to self-report at their own peril. All of this could have been prevented if states actually verified citizen eligibility upfront," said Logan Churchwell, communications and research director for the foundation.

"Federal law requires states to take reasonable steps to clean up their voting rolls. Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections. This lawsuit aims to ensure that citizens of California can have more confidence that their elections are fair and honest."
