Democratic Party Rebuild

[Hood Critic]

so you don't find it embarrassing that your electoral strategy is actually to demand that we let in tons of broke, homeless people, who you don't actually want in your communities because it was an "unfair problem" that Greg Abbott sent them there in buses?

the shamelessness on the far left is appalling. illegal immigrants cannot vote; why are you pandering to them?

I find it embarrassing that you don't realize your argument is a politicization of the Hippocratic Oath. The same oath that saves American lives all over this country everyday in ERs.

What's shameful is blaming a random marginalized group of people - who are ironically central to the US economy - for everything from unaffordable healthcare to the housing crisis. If we just fix the border, we'll have affordable healthcare, lower taxes, no unemployment and a budget surplus.

how do you even set up a mechanism for non-citizens to vote in elections, when it's illegal for them to register to vote

this pandering is pathetic, disgusting, and embarrassing. progressives are a joke

This kind of bullshyt only works on the dumbest people i.e. you and the MAGA scum you're quoting.

There was nothing "word salad" about Bass' answer. She is 100% correct.

Candidates were asked whether noncitizens should be allowed to vote in local elections, a reference to the recent efforts undertaken by Los Angeles City Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez that could potentially let noncitizens in Los Angeles cast their ballot for races like mayor.

Though it was intended to be a yes or no question — Pratt said no — Bass and Raman had more to say on the topic.

Bass said it depends, and that “we have to see what” Soto-Martínez is proposing.

“When you say noncitizens, it doesn’t mean they’re here illegal,” Bass said. “It doesn’t mean they’re undocumented. They could have green cards. They could be here perfectly legal, and there’s a lot of states and cities that do that on very, very local elections.”

Raman said it does depend, but was quickly cut off as one moderator posed a new question.

There are already states where non-citizens can vote in very local elections. That doesn't mean they can vote in presidential, congressional, or statewide elections.

A handful of local governments — mainly municipalities in Maryland and Vermont and a few individual cities — have legally extended the franchise to some noncitizen residents for municipal or school board elections, but no U.S. state as a whole currently allows noncitizens to vote in statewide or federal contests (and federal and state elections remain restricted to citizens) [1] [2] [3]. Reporting and legal trackers show the expansion is local and patchwork, subject to lawsuits and state constitutional limits, and the phenomenon remains numerically small and tightly regulated [4] [5].

4. Safeguards election officials use and the scale of participation:
Jurisdictions that permit noncitizen municipal voting typically use administrative safeguards — separate ballots or separate voter lists — to ensure noncitizen registrants do not receive ballots for state or federal contests (Maryland cities are an example) [5]. Multiple independent audits and academic reviews cited by election-law analysts find actual instances of noncitizen voting in broader elections are extremely rare; investigations in several states have produced minimal evidence of noncitizen participation in state or federal contests [6] [2].
