Why the left can’t let go of its nutty love of noncitizen voting

Blam!

The Court of Appeals, New York’s highest court, just slammed the door on noncitizen voting — and progressives’ years-long drive to blur the differences between citizen and non-citizen, indeed between citizen and illegal immigrant.

Across the country, the left has pushed such illegal voting with the insane claim that not letting noncitizens vote is somehow anti-democratic.

It’s of a piece with the progressive view that it’s somehow evil to control our own borders, and the left’s general contempt for anything approaching patriotism — and of course they figure it’d help them win elections.

Thus, Democrats in Virginia and Ohio objected last year when the states purged hundreds of noncitizens from voter rolls, treating it as some kind of right-wing voter suppression.

Happily, though progs have pushed New York’s Court of Appeals well to the left, the jurists can still read: “Whatever the future may bring, the New York Constitution as it stands today draws a firm line restricting voting to citizens,” explained Chief Judge Rowan Wilson in his majority opinion.

The court’s 6-1 decision struck down the City Council’s 2021 law to allow 800,000 noncitizens with green cards to vote in city elections — a measure that won the votes of current mayoral hopefuls Adrienne Adams and Brad Lander, as well as both Democratic comptroller candidates, Mark Levine and Justin Brannan.

Each of their votes count just as much as one of mine. And yours.

This is a distraction.

NYS still uses electronic voting machines and tabulators, has gone to all mail-in, and NYC now has RCV for mayorals.

As long as the above is the case, Deep State can and will continue to steal NYS’s elections at will.

Which really should make folks wonder...

If NYS is so blue, and that includes NYC, why does Deep State have to steal our elections...? 🤔

You can bet that if the non-citizen voters were voting Republican, their views would change.

Because the leftists are traitors to the United States of America.

To vote a person should be a citizen, have a job or proof they personally paid an income or property tax and have a paper ID.

Because of their “nutty” votes? Perhaps it’s the “nutty” power they bring with those votes? The “nutty” hatred the left has of the US?

Because it would be another way to control the voters-—”Didn’t vote correctly? Then you’re deported!”

I fail to grasp the Post's stupid title.

It's quite simple, really:

"Achievable results by any means."

Just one means of many.

The Liberal message (such as it IS) appeals to no one. However... promising free stuff to illegals and other freeloaders is the only way they can attract voters
