N.Y. Supreme Court strikes down NYC law granting voting rights to non-citizen residents
The New York state Supreme Court rules that non-citizens can not vote in local elections.
Common sense!
“Today’s decision validates those of us who can read the plain English words of our state constitution and state statutes: Noncitizen voting in New York is illegal, and shame on those who thought they could skirt the law for political gain. Opposition to this measure was bipartisan and cut across countless neighborhood and ethnic lines, yet progressives chose to ignore both our constitution and public sentiment in order to suit their aims. I commend the court in recognizing reality and reminding New York’s professional protestor class that the rule of law matters,” said City Council minority leader Joseph Borelli.
Another WIN for the Constitution and Statutes!
