New York City to grant over 800,000 non-citizens access to the ballot box
New York City’s new mayor did not act on a bill that allows non-citizens, legal residents and “Dreamers”, the ability to vote in local elections. He had 30 days to act on the bill, after those 30 days the bill became law.
Legal residents would not be able to vote in state or federal elections. Opponents to this law plan to challenge it in court. The city’s Board of Elections must draft a plan that would make it possible for these new voters to vote in local elections, but not in state or federal elections.
From the Associated Press:
The measure would allow noncitizens who have been lawful permanent residents of the city for at least 30 days, as well as those authorized to work in the U.S., including “Dreamers,” to help select the city’s mayor, city council members, borough presidents, comptroller and public advocate.
“Dreamers” are young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children who would benefit from the never-passed DREAM Act or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which allows them to remain in the country if they meet certain criteria.
The first elections in which noncitizens would be allowed to vote are in 2023.
“We build a stronger democracy when we include the voices of immigrants,” said former City Councilmember Ydanis Rodriguez, who led the charge to win approval for the legislation.
Rodriguez, who Adams appointed as his transportation commissioner, thanked the mayor for his support and expects a vigorous defense against any legal challenges.
Adams recently cast uncertainty over the legislation when he raised concern about the monthlong residency standard, but later said those concerns did not mean he would veto the bill.
While there was some question whether Adams could stop the bill from becoming law, the 30-day time limit for the mayor to take action expired at the stroke of midnight.
Adams said he looked forward to the law bringing millions more into the democratic process.

I just love it as this shit can’t get any better.
Wall around NYC?
If states can’t Secede can a majority of states vote New York out of the union? If so New Jersey, Massachutsetts, Maryland and Delaware should be next.
I offer my state-of-delusion in Connecticut to be on that chopping block.
‘Opponents to this law plan to challenge it in court.’ Law? There is no law.
They pulled the same shit in Montgomery County Maryland about two years ago. Their justification is that this illegal aliens spend money in the County, so they should have a say in how the County functions. Well, every time that Hack Stone goes to Walter Reed in Bethesda, he spends money in the County, so does Hack Stone get to vote too?
Whatever they can do to rig elections for the D-rat party they’ll do, and that also helps them to rig Statewide elections as in for the Offices of Governor and Senator.
My cousins worked with Adams in the NYPD.
They confirmed he was an extremely corrupt sack of shit. New York is screwed once again by a combination of idiot voters and their preferred choice of leadership.
He appointed his ‘tard brother to fat$$$ NYPD job, justifies it because “racism” out there…

NYC. Beyond hope now. Burn it down. Last rational person bring the flag.
The one thing I hope liberals are correct about is
that NYC will be underwater 100 years from now.
I am seriously confused. How can those who are not legally here legally vote? Someone, please explain the law to me? If this is not legal, then every election in which illegal voters cast a ballot then becomes illegal? And any laws passed or enacted by those elected in which illegals vote are then null and void? Seriously, someone needs to explain this to me.
Leftists. That’s why.
Will the “OOPS!” be genuine if they “accidently” send them ballots for state and federal elections?
Of course!
We need to build walls and turn three major cities into prison complexes like that in “Escape from New York.” I vote for NYC, LA, and San Fransicko.
