Print Email Share Comments (1117) Text Size Voters in Portland, Me., will decide on Nov. 2 whether to give legal residents who are not U.S. citizens the right to vote in local elections, joining places like San Francisco and Chicago that have already loosened the rules or are considering it. Do you think legal noncitizens should have the right to vote?

Thank you for voting!
Yes — If they pay taxes and can serve in the military, it’s only fair that they also be allowed to vote on local issues. 1.25% (1,576 votes)
Yes, but... — Only in state and local elections. The right to vote in a national election should be reserved for citizens of the United States of America. 1.15% (1,454 votes)
No — Voting is a citizen’s right. If they want it, then let them first become citizens. 97.29% (122,517 votes)

Obama sez only 2.4% of the respondants understood the question.....They just need to do a better job of communicating...
Only citizens have the right to vote... any other opinion or outcome and this entire experiment is moot.
LLS
Of course not. Here’s another thing: my CA ballot is in English and Spanish. It’s actually hard for me to make out the English part. American ballots should be for literate English speaking citizens only.
This poll is gonna crash the FOX server.
Freeped.
The right to vote is the primary difference between a citizen and a non-citizen.

Legal non-citizen?
What is that exactly? Does this mean anyone here on a travel or work/school visa?
I say not only no, but HELL NO! Become a citizen (legally) and EARN the rights of one!!
The fact that this comment or the like comes up without being a punchline means a punch should be the response.
Total $hit.
Heck no. They are here by their own choice — no one forced them to come here. If they don’t like not having a voice, they can become citizens or leave.
