Radical Democrat Mayor Karen Bass just admitted on camera that she’s willing to hand voting rights to non-citizens in Los Angeles.
Bass responded to a question about far-left Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez’s push to let non-citizens vote in local elections by declaring: “Well, I think we need to explore it.”
The exchange, which took place during a Politico California Playbook discussion, laid bare the Democrats’ desperate endgame.
Soto-Martínez, who has endorsed Bass, wants to rewrite the city charter to allow non-citizens – including those here illegally – to cast ballots in city council and school board races. Bass didn’t shut it down. She didn’t call it unconstitutional. She didn’t say it would destroy election integrity.
Instead, she leaned in.
Bass tried to soften the blow by claiming some cities only let “legal” non-citizens who pay taxes vote, but she quickly pivoted to defending sanctuary city policies she rammed through even after Trump’s first election.
California Bureau Chief Melanie Mason:Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez, who has endorsed you, wants to explore ways to let non-citizens vote in city elections. I know that some cities already do this, but, you know, politics is all about timing. With Donald Trump in the White House, is this the right time for Los Angeles to go down this path?
Karen Bass:Well, I think we need to explore it. Now, I’ve not seen exactly what he’s calling for. I have a little familiarity with what happens in other cities. For example, some cities will allow people to vote in city council and school board elections because they pay local taxes. But they are not necessarily undocumented. They might be here completely legally but have not finished the citizenship process. So, we’ll wait and see.
But, you know, I mean, some questioned that around sanctuary cities too. But we made that into law even though Trump had been elected. And it was because our population of vulnerable immigrants were terrified. That provided a measure of security for a minute. And no one anticipated we’d have the military roll up on us.

I’m sure it’s already happening. She just wants to legitimize it.
ICE will be waiting at the Polls for sure
She’s still going to win. Dem election fraud mechanisms are too strong to beat in the largest Dem-run cities.
Two can play that came. I say we all go to LA and vote for Pratt.
What’s good for the goose.....
s/b Two can play that game.
Then non-residents as well. Plenty of people in Ventura and Orange Counties to vote against the commie bitch.
...on may way to LA from a northern state....
She’s still going to win.
Well then they deserve what the gutter trash will do to them
She’s got the Ghanaian voter block for sure.

What’s to explore?
there needs to be a federal law outlawing this at every level
It all started when public hangings in town square stopped...
Why not just open it up to the entire world??
What is sad is that if they lose, then starting a civil war to try and stay in power is going to need to be explored as well. We are going to have a civil war. It’s becoming obvious. These people will NOT back down.
Non-residents who have to live near and work in that s-hole city have a responsibility to vote as well. She just gave the go-ahead.
They did...................No ID required, Same Day Registration, Mail-In Ballots.............
If LA is so lefty, why does Deep State need to steal its elections...? 🤔
