House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., is warning that Democrats want to use the voting laws in Washington, D.C., as a roadmap to get foreigners to vote in all 50 states.
The District of Columbia has a law that allows individuals 18 and up — foreign or American — who have lawfully resided in the city for over 30 days to vote in local elections, according to Democracy Docket.
"Other municipalities around the country not only allow non-citizens to vote in municipal elections.....[they] are actually using taxpayer dollars to encourage non-citizens to participate in our elections," Steil said on a Just the News, No Noise television special sponsored by the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC).
"So they want to use Washington, D.C., as a petri dish and roll this out nationally."
The House passed the SAVE Act in July with five Democrats voting in support of it.
"So someone working at the Russian embassy who's a Russian citizen....if they've resided in Washington, D.C. for 30 days, they can walk down to the polling station this November and vote in the municipal elections," Steil said.
But about 60 to 65% will actually vote early.
