NYC wants the Supreme Court to allow over 800,000 non-citizens to vote

Now that New York City is handing out prepaid debit cards to illegal immigrants — we’re not kidding, we reported this on Tuesday — the city wants more than 800,000 noncitizens to vote.

Including illegal immigrants.

Begging illegal aliens to vote

The New York City Council wants the state’s highest court to overturn recent rulings that struck down a law that would have allowed noncitizens to vote in local elections.

Yahoo reports“An appeals court ruled in February that the electoral law, which was adopted by the city council in 2021, is unconstitutional. The law would have allowed more than 800,000 green card holders to vote in local elections.”

“The Council passed Local Law 11 of 2022 to enfranchise 800,000 New Yorkers who live in our city, pay taxes and contribute to our communities,” council spokesman Rendy Desamours said in a statement. “Today’s filing to appeal the recent decision of the Second Department seeks a finding by the state Supreme Court that the law complies with the state Constitution, the Election Code, and the Municipal Self-Government Act.”

The story continued:

Empowering New Yorkers to participate in our local democratic process can only strengthen New York City by increasing civic engagement,” he added. “We look forward to the Court of Appeal hearing the Council’s appeal.”

The case goes to the New York Court of Appeals.

Mayor Eric Adams, who supported the law, did not comment on the appeal. Fox News Digital has contacted his office.

NYC will not give up on this

They tried this when Bill DeBlasio was mayor of New York in 2021, and it was rejected then too.

After the recent law was passed allowing non-citizens to vote, Republican House Representative Nicole Malliotakis was a plaintiff in the lawsuit that caused the law to be struck down.

“There is nothing more important than preserving the integrity of our election system and this unconstitutional law overturned in two consecutive victories has only diminished the voice of our citizens,” Malliotakis said. “I urge the city not to waste more taxpayer dollars by joining this call and instead focus on the needs of hardworking New Yorkers who face so many quality of life and public safety are confronted.”

Let’s hope the court’s ruling stands and that non-citizens are not allowed to vote in US elections.

It’s a shame that this even needs to be said.
