A judge on Monday blocked New York City from letting noncitizens vote for mayor and other municipal offices, a measure that Republicans had challenged as unconstitutional.
GOP Chair Nick Langworthy and several Republican elected officials said the law violated provisions in the state constitution and state election law that specifically confer voting rights on citizens."There is no statutory ability for the City of New York to issue inconsistent laws permitting noncitizens to vote and exceed the authority granted to it by the New York State Constitution," Porzio wrote.
Democrats of abusing their leadership of the city and state governments to "illegally rig the system while trampling on citizen’s rights."Legally documented, voting-age noncitizens comprise nearly one in nine of New York City's 7 million voting-age inhabitants.
