@badminton "The district’s council recently approved an election plan that – assuming council members vote the same way a second time – allows illegal aliens to cast ballots.
The next vote is scheduled for November.
If it passes again, “noncitizens would be allowed to vote as long as they are 18 years of age or older at the time of the election, and have lived in the district for at least 30 days,” the report said.
The only “no” vote in the 12-1 decision was Ward 3 Councilmember Mary Cheh, who wanted people to live in the district for more than 30 days before they are eligible.
The sponsor of the radical plan, Charles Allen of Ward 6, said 30 days was time enough.
“Our immigrant neighbors of all statuses participate, contribute and care about our community and our city. They, like all D.C. residents, deserve to have a say in our government,” Allen charged.
“This bill is in line with our D.C. values, and this council’s history of expanding the right to vote and welcoming new voices into our political process and government,” he continued."
