“The governor vetoed the bill that would give non-citizens the right to vote and his veto was overridden. Not sure why the poster needed to point out that the governor is a RINO when he did the right thing in this case.”

I read 3 more sources about this veto and agree with your assertion. Any Freeper who believes a Demoncrap actually voting for American interest is a complete moron and never learned for the past 40 years. I knew something was wrong with the headline. Obviously the “genius” freepers who posted above me are now going into hiding..
Of course they did - there’s always the Bernie ‘Something For Nothing’ tag-a-longs. They scream the loudest, demand the most and contribute the least.
Completely confusing/misleading headline.
So, in fact the exact opposite of what the article tries to convey is what happened? Not that I'm skeptical, journalism majors have the lowest SATs and likely IQs of anyone but education majors, and it truly shows.
This is a word salad that pretty much proves the author has no idea what happened.
It’s too bad Boiney didn’t win one of his runs for Governor, so the state could’ve gotten a taste of his Communism as a Chief Executive. Big difference from being just a useless tool legislator. Then again, the Bolsheviks in Burlington loved his schtick as Mayor...
So what happens at the Federal level? Do we allow Vermont to seat U.S. Senators and Congress members?
Do their electoral votes count any longer? Aren’t they violating the U.S. Constitution?
The Democrats screwed themselves when Bernie was elected. There were three Dems and Bernie on the ballot - he won by 22 votes.
It’s worth reading what he did to secure the ballots for that election. Seems as though he’s conveniently forgotten about that.
So many times we could have taken care of Bernie when he was sleeping on a park bench in Burlington.
Of course, even if Boiney had never come around, the state was headed the wrong way. The VT GOP decided in the 1950s it was going to be a left-wing party, and elected one squish after another to office. Now the GOP is effectively dead in VT.
By the time 1974 came around and the leftist RINO George Aiken retired, you had the choice between squishy liberal RINO Dick Mallary or authentic ultraleftist Pat “Leaky” Leahy for Senator. Leahy is just as radically left, perhaps even more so than Boiney, in the 47 years he’s been in DC.
We could have survived if we kept one Rep per Town and two Senators per County. When the courts changed that and allowed 50k college students to vote in Chittenden County, it’s been all downhill. This state is financially & morally bankrupt.
Even if SCOTUS hadn’t gotten involved in ordering states to change redistricting in the 1960s, VT would’ve still jumped off the cliff. Look at the Presidential vote since after 1988. Only the tiny county of Essex in the NE corner is the non-loon county in the state in the past 2 elections, and by only a modest margin of less than 54%.
That was a hard read.
The Gov. vetoed 2 bills.
RAT House overrode the veto.
It says “The Vermont Senate did the right thing in stopping this nonsense.”
So it’s not the law?
Legalized voter fraud pushed through by the Democrats - given noncitizens the right to elect government officials to make policy citizens will have to obey.
This move by the Democrats needs to be nationalized to highlight just how radical they really are - this is the stuff people used to laugh at as a wild right-wing conspiracy to suggest Democrats wanted to do this.
He is. He’s never Trumper swine. I appreciate he did the right thing on this though.
You see this Europe. EU-citizens in other EU-countries can’t vote in the national elections but are allowed to vote in local elections for some reason. Ghey.
“State legislature of Vermont has overridden the Republican RINO (Republican in Name Only) Governor Phil Scott’s vote of a bill that gives ‘non-citizens’ the right to vote in two cities’ elections
WTF. Fire the copyrighter. And the editor. Did the governor veto the bill, or does he have a vote in the state legislature. If he vetoed the bill, how is a RINO? Even if he’s a RINO in other respects, that’s not relevant to his veto. If he “voted” for the bill, then the legislature overriding his “vote,” would be prohibiting this practice.
Anyway, non-citizens may or many not be allowed to vote in municipal elections, depending on the jurisdiction. That’s hardly unconstitutional. But it’s certainly not a “right”.
I think I should be allowed to vote in Mexican elections to stop La Reconquista.
As miniscule as this is....
THIS IS GREAT!!!!!!
Are you sure that citizens of one EU country can’t vote in the national elections of other EU countries to which they move? I thought that, for example, Poles could vote in UK elections prior to Brexit taking effect.
The EU charter gives all EU citizens the right to vote and run in(!) (Expect countries can choose not to let foreign nationals run for local executive positions) local and EU parliament elections but that’s it. I don’t know if any countries allow foreign citizens to vote in national elections but the UK did not (except Irish and Commonwealth citizens, which includes EU members Malta and Cyprus).
Pro-Eu people complained about it.

Some links. EU citizens can still vote in local elections. And Scotland is terrible, any legal resident can vote for Scottish parliament. And they and Wales have lowered the local voting age to 16.
I didn’t know this but Malta had voted to integrate with the UK (would have gotten 3 seats in parliament) but for some reason it didn’t happen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956_Maltese_United_Kingdom_integration_referendum
