A proposal to let noncitizens vote in local Washington D.C. elections is not law after Congress failed to push to block it

District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser speaks during a news conference Nov. 9, 2022, in Washington. The city has fought to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections.

Republicans quickly tried quashing the law. Under the terms, voters would have to be 18 years of age by the time of the general election and must live in D.C. for at least 30 days before the election and not claim voting residence in any U.S. state or U.S. territory., R-K.Y., introduced a resolution to disprove of the legislation.

Socialism. These very people will be the first forgotten by the government. Mark it!

STOMPING ON US CONSTITUTION, AN ABSOLUTE DOCUMENT&FABRIC OF USA! NON-US CITIZENS DO NOT HAVE, NEED, & DESERVE US RIGHTS! TRUE HISTORY SHOWS STRUGGLES OF BOTH BLACK/WOMEN US CITIZENS ENDURED TO GET US RIGHTS&TO FREELY GIVE NON-US CITIZENS IS SPITTING IN THE FACES OF US CITIZENS!

Noooooo

This is a disgrace.

FOR POWER.

No way !!! Not a citizen should not be allowed to vote !! WTH pray for our country !!!

Keep stealing the vote. Let’s fly them in from Mexico to vote also.

Are they all crazy in Washington DC.

No way ! This cannot be right. They cannot vote until they are a citizen !

Crap!!!

What about those republican states who’s residents committed voter fraud in an attempt to force Trump on the people who clearly rejected him. When will you address that?

That should be illegal. Democrats are buying votes. Since US citizens dont trust Democrats anymore. Unconstitutional.

Bullshit how do non citizens get any rights? They are NOT CITIZENS

Sorry your votes should never be allowed then in the presidential elections.

Nice going liberal Democrats,a total disrespect to the U.S. soldiers that fought and gave their life for the U S Constitution, which includes upholding the laws to keep the U.S. border protected. ( I really hope the newcomers , vote Republican).

Are you guys telling the truth?

No

Allowing foreigners to influence your election!

How is this even constitutional? They said it was a conspiracy theory when conservatives said the reason the left wanted open borders was for votes. They literally brought in new voters. They said we don’t allow non citizens to vote, the right is just being hysterical. When will…

Unconstitutional. Take this travesty to court

What?

So DC… a foreign land in the USA has Non citizens voting. Why does Washington DC matter if they are foreign territory?

What? Illegals then should be allowed to WORK legally. Small businesses need workers

My god what are they thinking

This woke mayor needs to go the way of Lori Lightweight! Vote her out on her ass!

Congress has authority over Washington DC and if we get rid of Mitch McConnell and retake the Senate they should clean house. Outside of a few buildings DC is a pig sty and captured by ignorant, abusive, violent wokesters. A shameful picture of America on public display.

Why do you think they reversed trumps border policies and let millions of people in ?!

🤮🤮🤮

I wonder would Iran, Iraq, Venezuela or any other country to allow undocumented Americans to do this in their country.

I don't understand this. What is the idea behind this? Please fill me in.🙂

We knew that is why the Democrats wanted the people crossing the boarder …they want more votes

NationalDivorce

At the rate of people walking in our country through Biden's border is going, DC will elect an illegal immigrant mayor by the next election. 😁🤡🤡

Lawlessness on rampage everywhere, even in the so called civilization what a shame!...But, the good news is... It can be contained!

So unconstitutional it isnt funny

Very sad that this can happen in our country.

WoW. Any deal with the Devil to win...

And this is we have to stop paying taxes.

How can noncitizens participate in an election of representatives for the citizens of that community? Can I go to D.C and vote republican? I'm a noncitizen of that city.

How is that even legal,if there non citizens they have no right to vote and probaly here illegally

This is simply wrong

That is a violation of the sanctity of our nation, not to mention, just a plain out stupid thing to do.

Thankfully. The whole world should be able to vote who runs America.

CRAZY………

Bullshit

They love it when a plan comes together

Completely unprecedented in the USA .

All because of Chuck Schumer

This is just plain Sickening In American and the Reason DC Will Never Be A State, EVER They must be Sued and Brought Forth to the Supreme Court of America to Stop this Insanity Illegals Are Criminals, they broke our Laws Reward them? US Law must Prevail HouseGOP JudiciaryGOP

As the walls begin to crumble.

I really hope Dominion wins their lawsuit. And takes everything fox ' news' has, to the point they are gonna have to use smoke signals if they want to keep on spreading lies misinformation paranoia xenophobia homophobia and hate, in Jesus name amen!!

Make up your mind the TOP SAYS it is NOW law the BOTTOM says it is NOT law

Of course , in order to win they have to change the rules 🙄

'We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive Voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.' - Joe Biden

Unconstitutional! Stop this wrong!

Cool, so registered Diplomats and foreign tourists can now vote in DC elections. What could go wrong?

Absolute disgrace . This is not the USA anymore

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Yeah that's what we need. A bunch of illegal, ignorant, criminals being allowed to vote, to make any decisions. Whoever made this decision is just as bad as they are.

Disgusting!!

DC is automatically ineligible for statehood consideration as the 51st state because 'they' broke federal law and are allowing illegals to vote in elections. They are not going to revoke it pending statehood consideration so therefore it is a moot. Cannot wait for SCOTUS to rule.

It’s illegal is what it is. It says in the constitution or B of R that you must be a citizen of this country to be able to vote! And that people in jail can’t vote while in jail!

Insane

Hopefully know one will give DC any of there money,if I lived there I would move

And still Republicans refuse to do anything to secure our elections.

🤨👎

😡😡😡😡😡

That sounds unconstitutional!?🤔

That’s crazy

Rip this law up.

Unconstitutional

Thats why the bordwr is open...we knew it all along

Bullshit

All they want is 2 more senate seats.

Where is congress to stop this travesty? This is a prime example of why DC should never be granted statehood.

Unbelievable. When can we get our country back!

🐂

I guess I’ll never visit DC. Gonna be even shittier than it is now in quick order.

Gosh I'm so surprised another dumb idea

They do not have the authority to pass such a law. Allowing non-citizens to vote violates federal law.

Non-Citizens voting in US Elections is unconditional. :(

Treasonous

No !!!

THATS SO STUPID?!?!

Sewer…

Crazyyyyy

Yet another mayor in need of a recall

Wow so Putin can now vote .

Dc has gone mad. Bye

pay their rent for as long as it takes, till voting day, and WE WILL BE IN CHARGE!!! yes mam!!!

Wrong

Trying to think of a worse analogy than ‘swamp’…

The fact that DC is going to let non Americans vote should be illegal and those that voted for that should be in jail. Sounds like treason to me.

How is that a law that is crazy

what are they trying to do?

socialist commis are INSANE

Uhhh what? A slap in the face to the patriots of legal immigrants who actually had to go through hard work to earn they're citizenship. Its shame

how many people made this assinine law

We can not vote in other country's elections but non citizens can vote in our elections? The Patriots must react.

It cannot supercede Federal Law in this area. This is the District of Columbia - they cannot do that. Non-citizens cannot vote.

Just another democratic lead city to never visit.

Only American citizens can legally vote.

Take them to court! Then charge everyone who proposed and voted for this debacle with TREASON!

This means war

Ridiculous

Got to get some votes somehow.

Washington DC is not a state. Revoke their charter as a City, residing with in the Constitutionally apportioned federal Capital, and evict the lot of them.

More Votes for Joe, cheaters

Wow smh I hope if they do vote it’s for trump

NON citizens are not allowed to vote. No such thing as other wise qualified non citizen. This is a push for the global agenda and to minimize US sovereignty. The FEDs should strip all monies for DC that is how they have always kept states in line.

This is not their city, county, state, country to give away.

Send me an Envelope up here in Canada. I’ll make sure to vote as well. 🤡🤡🤡

Sad

Now anyone on the planet can vote for the clowns in DC 🤡

Maybe local voting, Federal elections follow the Constitution

No!!!’

WRONG! WE are still taking down the criminals in office and we will succeed. Watch for it. That includes the criminals at Fox News.

Its not law. Supreme Court needs to intervene.

BS they need to become united state citizen first.

Unjust law

And they wonder why people don't trust elections.

No way

That woman is a criminal

The definition of foreign influence! With JoeBiden open border they just allowed foreign countries to control our destiny. What the heck is going on with our country?

send those illegal males there, now

I'm not a DC citizen. I want a mail-in ballot mailed to my home.

Maybe Americans can vote in Russia or China as non citizens

This is the most unconstitutional thing I have ever seen. What a disgrace. Voting is a privilege !!!

This is BS!!! No way an illegal should be voting in any of our elections.

WTF

Utter absurdity. Who doesn’t see liberals trying to stay in power by getting illegals to vote. Just like how they buy votes

Next they'll pass a law to jail you if you don't use someone's pronouns.

Nope your wrong

This is sickening

Ridiculous! Congress should cut off all federal money to DC until this madness stops. And certainly no statehood!

If your not a citizen of a country howcan you vote. I could vote in any country from home

Not ridiculous for local elections. My dad was a landed immigrant for 50 yrs worked paid taxes why shouldn't he have a say in politics that affect him. He gave up trying to become a citizen never heard back in his paperwork. Sanity test for US citizens would be better.

This should be looked at by the Supreme Court immediately. If this is allowed our country will be a third world country after 2024 elections

This is WRONG!

That works; all those new illegal young mostly male migrants can pass through DC, stay for 30 days and vote. That should be fun to watch.

Sounds like a legitimate reason for dismissing votes by D.C. residents!

Can I go vote in DC?

WTF😡

This is the most ridiculous shit. Only legal US citizens should be voting for American laws.

Insanity.

Democrats trying to let the none citizens Vote

That can't really be happening or can it?

But it’s not, though.

We are lost...🤷

For every illegal that votes we need to deport a democrat politician!

The United States has OFFICIALLY become a joke.

How can they do that?

Wow and the US reality tv show gets even crazier!! I thought they would pull this… it’s crazy how long until they allow mail in voting from other countries. It’s kinda like AGT lol😂🤣… the US is such a joke

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Here's the deal, perhaps the non-citizens will outvote and outsmart the corrupt politicians in DC.

Sorry, it’s unconstitutional and will be overturned!!!

You can only hope that it backfires and the illegals that are walking up and voting out dems in other states will do the same there. I say it's local elections not federal so let 'em. Just because they came here the wrong way doesn't mean they don't want safe neighborhoods

🤬

Absolutely absurd.. pandering for votes… Voting only for legal citizens period… who are these people who sore promoting this ludicrous plan..⁉️😳😳🇺🇸🗽🦅

Buying votes...

NO!!!!! Fire her!!

Oh thats nice, now the people in Iran can elect a mayor for DC.

Give me a break

This what the democrats wanted so they can be illegal all the time . They want all the migrants to vote this is Fu%&ed Up

🤣🤣🤣

The leaders of DC would all be impeached for going against the constitution of the US, they are all in violation of the constitution.

Ok then I will just travel to your stupid country and vote for Pedro 🤣👉🤔

This is the reason why we have problems.

And they say all the elections are 100% ok. The Dems will do anything to stay in power. Power is everything. They don’t care about anyone, as long as the stay in power.

Our country is due for a MEGA reset.

isn't this unconstitutional?

ILLEGAL like the Illegals. To not allow this !

They want noncitizens to vote then let's give them their wish. Texas and Arizona get them busses loaded and send them non stop to DC

Well done! Exit stage right.

No surprise, all part of the plan...

They have rights too. Wait what

Wtf

Nope. That's not how this works.

So let me get this straight...people who are natural citizens in America have the right to vote...and now...noncitizens who come here illegally get to vote? What about people in prison? Do they get to vote? Makes no sense...

Toss her out

So if I'm reading your law correct if 1,000,000 republican voters stay in your shithole town for one month we can vote in a republican govt to finally take back Washington DC? Hey its your laws not ours🤔🤔🤔

why would non citizens be making rules for us citizens. no to let them vote

How many languag will the balots be printed in?

Communist piece of crap

I guess it's time to go to other countries and have our vote there, oh..wait...we can't do that because we aren't a citizen of those foreign countries. So why the hell are non-citizens being allowed to vote?

Dead people can vote too

Bullshit law

Libs condemning FOX News is comical and beyond hypocritical.. same people read this story while sponging CNN. FOX story literally explains LOCAL elections. demsarenuts

Only in the US that a country allows a foreigner to vote. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Watch all the moronic fear mongering over them being able to vote in local elections...

When it passes both houses, is approved for constitutionality by the Supreme Court, and signed by the president, then it will be law. Until then, it’s just a bill, sitting up on Capital Hill.

We will no longer be a country.

What are they afraid of? Now they are trying to pad the voting booths with more indoctrination thru these people.

Our constitution forbids it.

UnAmerican!!!

This is just insane. Only A,Eric an citizens should vote in any election. Enough is enough.

😡😡😡😡😡This makes absolutely no sense. You think we could be an illegal in any other country, and they'd let us vote? or have any say in how they run their country, you've been drinking too much!

Time for the feds to step in

Vote how they want to vote? Or how the democrats want them to vote?

Wow they are just buying votes

Washington DC City Council ...Dumb Ass.

The Constitution does not provide for Anyone to who is not a Citizen to vote. Republicans had to pass an Amendment to the Constitution so we could get African Americans the right to vote.

Unconstitutional

I wonder how they would feel if a bunch of Russians moved to DC for 31 days?

Since they can't vote for federal elections... of they want to allow criminals to vote they can probably do that.

Send them all to DC!

Dems opened borders then allowed noncitizens to vote. They tried to get votes including cheated. Dems are above laws & constitution .

Welcome to your high crime !!!

Totally absurd

Of course, that was there plan all along

Madness

WTF?

Only Anerican citizens shiuld be voting.

ONLY FOR LOCAL ELECTIONS. WHICH IS LEGAL. AND NOT WHAT YOU ARE IMPLYING

ATTN: non-citizen Trump and Bolsonaro supporters in Miami, Orlando, BocaRaton, Florida in general. If you wish to vote for realDonaldTrump for president in 2024, you'll now be able to in Washington DC. If they try to ask for your ID, tell them they are racist...

What the F***? This has to be a joke!

Free votes for the left!

This should be challenged I wasn't allowed to vote for years untill I took citizenship

Sad HouseDemocrats SenateDems feel you have to cheat to win elections by letting noncitizens vote. It is unconstitutional. I’d like to know how this law passed. SpeakerMcCarthy LeaderMcConnell did you guys fail to protect the constitution again? SenSchumer RepAdamSchiff

No. Supreme court must get involved. Lock these treasonous people up. Asap

😂😂😂😂

Another reason why I’d never live in DC. Ridiculous.

The reason the dems want all of the illegal immigration is for this reason exactly.

Who made it a law?

That’s illegal.

JackLombardi It’s because of this kind of Anti-American behavior that Washington DC will never become a US State. How can anyone take these people seriously?

What the heck

This is how you lose your country. This is a mockery of self governance. It is sad that one political party is so bent on the destruction of our society. I fear that in the long run, they may be successful.

That's FKED UP

NOPE! NOT A LEGAL U.S. CITIZEN: NO RIGHT TO VOTE, HOLD A DRIVER’S LICENSE, HAVE A SSAN, OR RECEIVE ANY…BENEFITS. Return illegals to the border they ILLEGALLY CROSSED removing them from our country! DO IT NOW. Stop trying to buy votes demo-RATS! It’s PATHETIC!

Unconstitutional. All your votes should be thrown out!

Travesty , Washington D.C. you will reap what you have Sown. Lowering the bar for success in any form always results in underachievement and at best a stretch for mediocrity. Shameful 🇺🇸

Take it to the courts!

WTF!!!! This new Congress needs to remove this and NOW!!

Very bad.

Anything for a vote🤪

Wow, ok next time I go to Europe and there are elections I want to try and vote..... bet you I can't so why can they vote in ANY of our elections!!!!

The actual definition of that screams WRONG.

Fox news on air personalities like tucker Carlson admits they knew they were lying to their viewers.

How can non citizens vote. Is that how they plan on cheating the next election

Wtf

Our Nation is doomed.

Clearly just another method of building up a certain political base. Let them follow the process to become a citizen then vote. Why do we keep passing new laws instead of using existing laws and processes?

NONCITIZENS ALLOWED TO VOTE- how sick is that?

Its unconstitutional and another reason why democrats should be run out of office nation-wide. Get them pitchforks and torches!

Wrong. It will be struck down by the courts.

Now/Not.... hire some editors FFS

White people rage 😭

And yet they said Trump got elected with Russian interference. So now all the Russian citizens can come over here, set up temp housing, vote, then go back home.

lisachristinect DC may be a “sanctuary city” but the US is not a “sanctuary country”. This should only be allowed for DC local elections, not elections that impact the entire country.

How can this happen?

WTF

Discusting

Does noone see that 'non citizens' voting is wrong? Most states it's you must be a US citizen and 18 and registered to vote. What does a non citizen know what our country needs. Become a citizen the right way and then you can vote.

And it will be swiftly defeated in court

We need another j6 but this time remove them all and hit the reset button

This is a terrible move.

No other country allows illegals to vote! Maybe we should just let the world vote in out ellections! Sad, dems need un-American voters!

It’s is complete bs, not a citizen can’t vote period how can theses people change that?

This country is going down the toilet. We use to be a super power now we are the laughing stock of the world. Sad!

Sure why not. This will make your summer of love a backyard bbq. Who do they have in mind for office. The former mayor of Chicago is looking for a job.

So. Does that mean that people from all over can visit DC during election season. And vote ? Asking for a friend

Ridiculous

Height of madness!

Absolutely not that will begin a civil war an there will be no quarter given

LMAO! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol

Could backfire... A lot of those immigrants left their countries to escape communism.

Hope folks understand D.C. Is full of forgein nationals. Some that aren't our friends.

Last I heard it’s up to Congress to make laws for DC not city council

So what does Citizenship offer you in DC? Seems worthless to the DC deep state. So sad that this was allowed.

This is unconstitutional

Time to vote in DC elections as a Georgia resident
