A top House Republican announced legislation Thursday to stop the District of Columbia from allowing immigrants — including some in the country illegally — to cast ballots in local elections.
Rep. James Comer, Kentucky Republican and chair of the House Oversight Committee, called the proposal by the D.C. City Council “reckless” and “an attack on the foundation of this republic.”
“Voting is a pillar of American democracy and a constitutional right that undeniably needs to be protected and preserved for citizens of this country,” he said.

Non-American, foreign thieves and murderers should not be voting in our elections. I’m retired and when I go out during the day, it baffles me how so many people are out all day shopping and driving around. Why aren’t they working and why aren’t their kids in school instead of kicking around Walmart all day? With Biden and his stolen classified documents I’m starting to think they are getting their money to shop all day from the Red Chinese when they vote for demonRATS. Damn treasonous sellouts!
How about stopping illegal voting, every where?
JUST DO IT!!!! NOW!!
“Look at us! We are fishing for you!”
Useless fishing without an hook. How stupid do they think we are? It insults the intelligence that they are even wasting time trying to blow smoke up our skirts. They cannot get one thing passed except more communist crap the Dems like.
“JUST DO IT!!!! NOW!!”
Unfortunately their hands are tied, they can’t pass anything.
Are there no laws requiring citizenship to vote?
Re: 5 - They are not whining, quitting, and apparently giving up, which cannot be said for others.
Biden broke out his patented creepy whisper saying he will veto anything that gets to him from the House.
Seems a Republican house is always fighting for your side when they know nothing will be passed through the Senate.
So you believe their con for campaign funds? All they are doing is telling us what we want to hear even though they can’t do anything. They need to concentrate on feasible actions that can actually be accomplished and stop wasting time and bandwidth on impossible efforts.
They are just spitting into the wind, and they are trying to con the low IQ into thinking that spitting in the wind is actually a smart effort. It is all just show to get funds in their personal pacts because they are not getting anything they want through the Senate and have Biden sign it.
It is not intelligent or logical to even think they can...
“Seems a Republican house is always fighting for your side when they know nothing will be passed through the Senate.”
Yep, and when they have it all they do nothing substantial.
The fact that wetbacks voting is even being debated by the pimps in DC clearly shows this country is broken. Before we can restore national sanity we’ll have to eliminate roughly half the voting public, and that’ll never happen.
More FR outrage theater.
omg...they can get EVERYONE ON THE RECORD!!
Balderdash. the farce is of no effect at all
Until lots of people die for election fraud, it will continue. Election fraud is a crime against the Republic and perpetrators have forfeited their right to live
Yup. It’s a nice show, but doesn’t mean a thing.
This is from the USA.GOV website:
Who Can Vote?
You can vote in U.S. federal, state, and local elections if you:
1) Are a U.S. citizen (some areas allow non-citizens to vote in local elections only)
2) Meet your state’s residency requirements
3) You can be homeless (PDF, Download Adobe Reader) and still meet these requirements.
4) Are 18 years old on or before Election Day (some areas allow 16 year olds to vote in local elections only)
5) In almost every state, you can register to vote before you turn 18 if you will be 18 by Election Day.
6) Are registered to vote by your state’s voter registration deadline. North Dakota does not require voter registration.
Who CAN’T Vote?
1) Non-citizens, including permanent legal residents cannot vote in federal, state, and most local elections.
2) Some people following felony convictions or who are currently serving time for other types of crimes. Rules are different in each state. Check this guide from the Department of Justice (PDF, Download Adobe Reader) to understand the laws in your state.
3) Some people who are mentally incapacitated. Rules vary by state.
4) For president in the general election: U.S. citizens residing in U.S. territories
Check with your state or local election office for any questions about who can and cannot vote.
So, non-citizens can vote in states that allow them to in local elections. But think about it...If you let them vote in local elections why deny them the right to vote in state and federal? There is no convincing reason once you let them get their foot in the door. Non-citizens should never be allowed to vote. Giving them political power in a country of which they are not a citizen is unbelievable stupidity from a national interest.
Stop allowing illegals to get driver licenses, everywhere in the U.S. where it’s allowed!
And what is the purpose of the record?
