New York Mayor Eric Adams, the New York City Council, and New York City’s Board of Elections were sued Monday over a new law that lets noncitizens vote in elections.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) filed the suit in New York Supreme Court along with City Council Minority Leader Joseph Borrelli, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.), and other Republicans.
Plaintiffs say a new bill that was passed by the Democrat-controlled City Council and allowed to become a law by Adams, a Democrat who took office on Jan. 1, violates the state Constitution and election law.
The bill, if allowed to take effect, would let about 800,000 noncitizens such as illegal immigrants who arrived in the United States as children vote in local elections.
New York law says that “No person shall be qualified to register for and vote at any election unless he is a citizen of the United States” and the New York Constitution says that voters must be citizens.
That’s two reasons the new bill is illegal, the suit states.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
