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...

Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sworn in its first police officer who is not a U.S. citizen, according to reports.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) is taking action to remove hundreds of noncitizens from state voter rolls. LaRose’s office made the announcement on Thursday, stating that “county boards of elections are being directed to remove an additional 499 non-citizen registrations from Ohio’s voter rolls.” The press release said it is part of an audit of the state’s voter registration database before Americans head to the polls to cast their ballots in the November general election. LaRose said: I swore an oath to uphold the constitution of our state, and that document clearly states that only United States citizens...

Voting rights advocates say a GOP push for legislation prohibiting noncitizens from voting is not about creating laws — that’s already prohibited. Yet the U.S. House could vote this week on a Republican bill outlawing noncitizens from voting in federal elections. Critics of the measure say it would aggravate racial disparities and is meant to chill voter turnout among the immigrant community. The bill would require people to provide “documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections,” according to the bill summary. Claiming a need for increased election integrity, the GOP has pushed in...

As the Republican-controlled House is expected to take up a bill Wednesday aimed at making sure only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections, President Joe Biden is signaling he would kill the measure should it miraculously survive the Democrat-led Senate. Biden isn’t likely to need the veto pen. Democrats will, however, be forced to explain why they oppose the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which requires documentary proof of citizenship to vote for president and members of Congress. And while they have gotten plenty of cover from corporate media in asserting that foreign nationals — including illegal aliens —...

Judicial Watch announced today that it received 13-pages of records in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the District of Columbia, explaining to illegal aliens and other noncitizens how they can register to vote in local elections. The records came in response to an April 12, 2024, FOIA request for: Materials presented and/or provided at the training; Communications advertising/promoting the training; and Materials provided to participants/attendees after the training. On April 10, 2024, DC held a training event titled ”Non-Citizen Voting Education Virtual Training” in which DC announced noncitizen voting would begin in 2024. The PowerPoint...

Expanding voting rights to non-citizens in municipal and mayoral elections has become a prominent issue in the United States, particularly for Democrats. Advocates argue that it promotes inclusivity and allows those who contribute to their communities but lack full citizenship to have a voice in local decision-making.At the forefront of this movement is the implementation of Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) systems, which have been implemented in states like Massachusetts. However, critics have raised concerns about whether AVR could inadvertently register non-citizens to vote.Massachusetts, in particular, has been expanding voting rights for several years. As the state prepares for nearly 200,000...

Texas Democratic state lawmakers blocked a Constitutional amendment requiring citizenship to vote in elections from making it out of the legislature and onto the November ballot. A group of over 50 Texas Democratic House lawmakers voted “present” in late May to prevent Texas Senate Joint Resolution 35 from making it out of the chamber. A handful of Democrats joined more than 80 Republicans who supported the legislation after it passed the Texas Senate with near unanimous support. “The Democrats say they do not support non-citizens voting but then given a chance to vote to clearly set that policy in the...

President Biden raised eyebrows Thursday when he said that Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s wife would be a “great lady in the Senate” — appearing to imply that the Democrat would be unable to serve due to his poor health. “John, thank you very much for running, I really do appreciate it,” Biden said at an event in Pittsburgh. “And Gisele, you’re going to be a great, great lady in the Senate.” Fetterman had a stroke in the same week that he won the May 17 Democratic Senate primary and continues to experience health issues, though he and his campaign...

The State legislature of Vermont has overridden the Republican RINO (Republican in Name Only) Governor Phil Scott’s vote of a bill that gives ‘non-citizens’ the right to vote in two cities’ elections. An absolute tragedy against Americans constitution and integrity. “In a 20-10 vote, Vermont Democrats just barely achieved the two-thirds majority needed to override the governor’s veto of two separate bills – securing the House’s successful override vote Wednesday,” Fox News reported.

About 95,000 non-citizens are registered to vote in Texas, and more than half of those have cast ballots in at least one election, Texas Secretary of State David Whitley announced on Friday. Whitley's office, along with the Texas Department of Public Safety, had been investigating possible voter fraud for the last year, according to a news release.

Something is rotten in Palm Beach County, where Democrats want to count the votes of non-citizens. Something is rotten in Palm Beach County Florida elections, where Democrats want to count votes cast by non-citizens.During review of provisional ballots to determine whether a recount is justified in the tight Florida governor, senate, and agriculture commission races, Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher identified a voter as a non-citizen and declared that the ballot would not be counted.

Forget the Russian government — foreign nationals are increasingly gaining the ability to influence American elections more directly. They’re being granted the right to vote. From Boston, where the city council is debating the move, to San Francisco, where noncitizens gained the right earlier this month in school-board elections, jurisdictions are looking to expand the boundaries of the electorate beyond its citizens.

Abdel showed up at his local Pennsylvania motor vehicle office to take his driver’s license test — and walked out having registered to vote, even though he is not a citizen. He said his command of English isn’t good and the computer system was unclear, but he somehow managed to sign up even though he knew he shouldn’t. Then there was Angelo, who figured he could vote because he joined the U.S. military, even though he wasn’t a citizen. He, too, signed up at the Pennsylvania motor vehicle bureau and registered as a Democrat. He then voted nearly every year...

Half of the 165,265 arrests made by federal law enforcement agents in fiscal 2014 were for immigration-tied offenses. Sixty-one percent of the arrests made by feds this same year involved “non-U.S. citizens,” according to a new Pew Research Center study. And the left says America doesn’t have a border problem? Let’s peak at the numbers a bit, shall we? This is Barack Obama’s legacy — a country filled with crime-committing illegals. The 50 percent of total federal arrests in 2014, the latest year for which the Justice Department stats were available, were due to illegal border crossings, or border smugglings....

Ten days after the November 8 vote, the North Carolina governor's race is still undeclared, after Republican's allege that dead people and felons were casting ballots.  Republican Governor Pat McCrory, who is trailing Democratic challenger Roy Cooper by about 6,300 votes according to the state elections website Friday afternoon, has not conceded.  Challenges over the validity of hundreds of votes and reviews of provisional ballots were expected to delay the reports from many, if not all, of the state's 100 counties, elections officials said. 'It is unfortunate to see that rather than accepting the results, Pat McCrory is going to...

But remember, Voter ID is racist. It discriminates against illegal voters. But first a step back. We're talking about the Turkish Muslim mall terrorist in Washington, not the Somali Muslim mall shooter in Minnesota. We're getting so much Muslim terror these days that it takes work to keep it all straight. The Cascade Mall shooting suspect, Arcan Cetin, may face an additional investigation related to his voting record and citizenship status. Federal sources confirm to KING 5 that Cetin was not a U.S. citizen, meaning legally he cannot vote. However, state records show Cetin registered to vote in 2014 and...
