It is just for the headlines.
The DoJ will just sue them, with our money, and everyone will just go “Ah shucks”.
Can non-citizens vote for this?
Sad that such an amendment is even necessary. Not that it would make much difference as such laws are often ignored.
I’ll bet Joe and his DOJ will sue them and claim it is unconstitutional to not let illegal aliens vote.
I think I heard Syria, Iran and Iraq welcome Jews who are citizens of Israel to vote in their elections. Oh, wait. Guess I was mistaken./SARC
Framers understood the risks of direct democracy. Left uses strategically placed abortion ballot issues to increase its turnout. Until we can reduce those process provided risks we must use them too. With well written strategically chosen initiatives and amendments, where allowed, to boost our own turnout. How about initiative to ban state expenditures to illegal aliens for any purposes beyond promptly (defined within) removing them from the state and emergency medical care (for conditions hazarding death with the same prompt period.) with better legalese designed to make it harder to stay or overturn. Big enough election win would inhibit elected state officials from fighting it. If written well enough private challenges would be harder and more expensive to attempt. Feds probably would still try, but you do the best you can and even their resources are eventually finite.
It really is amazing. The Founders weren’t explicit in saying that only citizens could vote because it was a given. No one could imagine that a noncitizen would legally be allowed to vote.
I wonder what’s next. Maybe there’ll be a push to allow animals to vote.
How racist!!
