New York Supreme Court strikes down unconstitutional NYC law that would have allowed non-citizens/illegal aliens to vote in local elections.
Daily Caller The Republican National Committee (RNC) sued New York City Mayor Eric Adams, the New York City Council and the New York City Board of Elections in January for passing a law allowing noncitizens to vote.
In its decision, the New York Supreme Court said that there’s no legal authority allowing non-citizens to vote. “There is no statutory ability for the City of New York to issue inconsistent laws permitting non-citizens to vote and exceed the authority granted to it by the New York State Constitution,” the state supreme court said in the decision.
“Though voting is a right that so many citizens take for granted, the City of New York cannot ‘obviate’ the restrictions imposed by the Constitution,” it added.
The lawsuit alleged that around one million noncitizen adults live in New York City, adding that the number of noncitizens eligible to vote in local races could comprise 15% or more of the vote. It claimed that the law violated the state constitution that requires voters to be U.S. citizens.
“Today’s ruling is a huge victory for election integrity and the rule of law: American elections should be decided by American citizens. The [Republican National Committee (RNC)] is proud to head a broad coalition in successfully challenging this unconstitutional scheme and will continue to lead the effort across the country to ensure only citizens can vote in America’s elections,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement.

What an outrageous attempt by the “lawless democrats” (which we should all call them, for that’s what they are) Theoretically they can bus in illegal migrants (from city to city) to vote then leave. Nomadic illegal immigrant voting. These lawless democrats have got to go.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, the New York City Council and the New York City Board of Elections are extremely dangerous enemies of New Yorkers and all Americans.
They’re NWO Globalist American haters who want the US Constitution ripped to pieces, America’s sovereignty annihilated and America’s freedom, human rights and security destroyed.
They’re communists who want a United Nations One World Communist government. The Global Reset.
