New York City may soon permit hundreds of thousands of noncitizens to vote in municipal elections, while Mayor Bill de Blasio and his successor, Eric Adams, feel differently about the prospect.
The bill aims to amend the city's charter by including a new chapter with provisions for allowing green card holders and those with work authorization to register to vote and take part in citywide elections through the creation of a separate municipal voter registration. Adams supported the concept when he was campaigning for mayor earlier this year.
"We cannot be a beacon to the world and continue to attract the global talent, energy and entrepreneurship that has allowed our city to thrive for centuries if we do not give immigrants a vote in how this city is run and what our priorities are for the future," Adams said in February, according to the New York Daily News.

Well what could go wrong?
and the same voter rolls will be used for state/frd elections too...
This can’t be constitutional.
No sense in being a citizen anymore.
Let’s all just renounce our citizenship! /s
Like w t f.
Well let’s let anyone vote in NY elections. Anyone at all.
What did the constitution say?
It’s starting with green card holders or legal right to work in the US via VISAs, but you just know it’s going to slide into “anyone”.
Foreigners voting in American elections?
Wouldn’t that make NYC a foreign land, and their votes rendered null-and-void for federal elections?
Before: Kiss NYC goodbye, hello 80% Caracas, Venezuela.
Total DemocRAT control
After: Kiss 80% Caracas, Venezuela goodbye, hello 100% Moscow.
Total Commie control (not really that much difference than DemocRAT control).
Rigging elections act 2.
and they’ll notice the difference how?
What’s in the hell is going on? This makes zero sense to me. Why would New Yorkers allow this to happen?
Nothing.
It says nothing about state elections and lower:
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
What constitution?
So What?
New York City is not part of America, anyway.
It can, and it is.
For State elections and below.
Prediction as to Party registration:
Democrat 799,998
Green Party 1
Republican 0
Independent 1
Just a wild hunch.
Great NYC, oh by the way collect my taxes from them!
States determine their own eligibility requirements for voters.
They’re NOT allowed to vote for President - not sure about federal representation (senators, reps)
