NYC Lets Non-Citizens Vote
« on: December 10, 2021, 08:01:02 AM »
NYC has voted to allow non-citizens to vote in local elections. I guess if they keep it local, IDGAF. My fear is this is going to go statewide in some blue state* and further erode our election integrity.

*Officially, as we all know this already happens in blue states like CA.

Twitchy link is paywalled.

Weren't they already voting, though?

Sorry, I didn't hit a wall with Brave. Here's one that's probably not paywalled.

NY Times has one too, but they are paywalled.

800,000 votes can certainly swing things.

Off topic but is it me or does it seem like many of the most liberal news sites, those that routinely condemn the evils of capitalism while putting socialism on a pedestal, have pay walls?

See, this is where the R party earns it's stupid title. They need to take advantage of this and get ballots out nationwide for the next local election.

Think malicious compliance.
