New York City could soon allow more than 800,000 non-citizens to vote in citywide elections

New York state and New York City are cases in point: There, Democrats command a supermajority and they wield their power in authoritarian ways because that is the nature of their politics, as evidenced by economically stifling pandemic lockdowns, unconstitutional vaccine mandates, and now, a new executive order from Gov. Kathy Hochul that declared a 'state of emergency' over the COVID-19 omicron variant even though there has been no sign of it in the state yet.

The "Our City, Our Vote" legislation would allow migrants who hold green cards, those who maintain a legal work status in the United States, and DACA recipients to be granted special voter registration forms to vote in local elections.

"The legislation calls for training poll workers and community education campaigns to ensure every voter receives the correct ballot," The New York Times added.

"It's important for the Democratic Party to look at New York City and see that when voting rights are being attacked, we are expanding voter participation," he said.

"Democrats are trying to dismantle the integrity of our elections. In addition to attacking widely supported safeguards like voter ID, Democrats also want foreign citizens to vote in American elections," said Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.

The case centers around the Vermont cities of Montpelier and Winooski, who in May had changes to their charters approved by the state's Senate that allowed non-citizens to vote in their municipal elections.

"The Montpelier bill allows what is defined as a legal resident of the United States to be able to vote in city elections. If someone is here on a permanent basis, why would he or she not want to participate in the process to become a citizen?" he added.
