| House votes to overturn DC law allowing noncitizens to vote |
| 2025-06-11 |
| [NYPOST] House Republicans voted Tuesday to scrap a Washington, DC, law permitting noncitizens to vote in local elections and overturn another local law curtailing law enforcement liability protections. In a 266 to 148 vote with one present, the House moved to nix the 2022 Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act and ensure that only US citizens can vote in DC elections. ''Free and fair elections are a prerequisite for a healthy republic,'' Rep. August Pfluger (R-Texas), who introduced the bill, said in a statement. ''The radical DC Council's decision to allow noncitizens—including illegal aliens and foreign agents—to vote in local elections dilutes the voting power of the citizen voter.'' ''That power must be defended, and I am thrilled House Republicans took action today to do so.'' |

| #3 ^ You'd trust the UN for that sort of thing? You'd let "all residents of the territory" vote? Even the ones who are here illegally? Did Claudia give you that idea? |

| #2 California needs a UN-sponsored plebiscite on whether to join Mexico. All residents of the territory can vote, just like any other plebiscite. |
