NYC Council is Appealing For Noncitizens to Vote – Why Hasn’t Brannan And Adrienne Adams Stopped The Nonsense?
The right to vote is held by citizens – that’s everywhere. In 2021, when Bill de Blasio was mayor, he signed into law a bill that would have allowed 800,000 noncitizens to vote. Mayor Eric Adams and NY City sued to challenge the law to allow noncitizens to vote in city elections. They lost because the bill was unconstitutional. (See News)
Mayor Adams is no longer suing, but NYC City Council is appealing. Why does Justin Brannan And Speaker Adrienne Adams continue to waste the city’s time and resources after the trial and appeals courts ruled that this violated the New York State Constitution.
Update: July 2024, Nicole Malliotakis shared the bill that the House of Representatives passed to put an end to noncitizens voting. (See here) Doesn’t Brannan and Adrienne Adams know what is happening in government?
