Get ready for this to go to the supreme court of the USA and not go favorably.
Id love to have the chance to read the decision but the constitution says we the people not we the citizen and the dems will green light this. Also the Supreme Court of the USA may not rule our way especially if the dems pack the court.

Well there’s now a split because I think this was turned down somewhere else. I can’t remember for sure.
Seems like it’s local elections and you do need to be a resident but we all know how that goes.

Vermont Supreme Court rules in favor of noncitizen voting
Noncitizen residents may continue to vote in municipal elections in Vermont's capital city of Montpelier, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday, stating that such voting in local elections doesn't violate the state constitution.

this is local voting in the state not on the Federal level been that way for years in a lot of states this is nothing new
As I expected, this thread is nothing but ignorant hysteria.
"In 2021, the Democrat-controlled Vermont Legislature approved two separate bills to change the municipal charters of Montpelier and Winooski, the most diverse community in the state, to allow legal residents who are not U.S. citizens to vote in local elections. Republican Gov. Phil Scott vetoed the measures, but the Legislature overrode his vetoes."

I am sure it will.. but just like the Dobbs decision with abortion or the right to carry guns in public...liberal tryants will tell SCOTUS to stick it and do what they want.
An illegal is not a citizen correct?
What's the next progressive step after non-citizen have the right to vote locally?
If you can't see this is the first step towards having them vote in all elections then you are willfully blind.

From the state that gave us Bernie Sanders.
If you're not outraged over this you're an idiot.
Non citizens should not be voting in American elections.
Period. No verbal gymnastics. Period. None.

Why shouldn't a town or village or even small city be able to let non-citizen legal residents vote in local elections? They pay taxes just like citizens do.
No taxation without representation. Just sayin'. I dont believe non-citizens should vote but as they pay the same taxes that we do, an argument can be made.

You want the representation? Become a citizen. There is a well established procedure.

Simple, it’s the first step towards letting them vote in State and Federal elections.
As usual, the ignorance shows its face. You see, I support the United States Constitution.
Twenty-Sixth Amendment Section 1: The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on a. . .
We have some on this forum that have shown they do NOT support of laws, our regulations or the Amendments found in our founding documents.

- The 14th Amendment extends citizenship to all natural born or naturalized Americans regardless of race and guaranteed that rights of citizenship, like voting, cannot be restricted by the states.
- The 15th Amendment prohibits restricting the right to vote due to race.
- The 17th Amendment requires states to elect senators by popular vote.
- The 19th Amendment extends voting rights to all women.
- The 26th Amendment extends the right to vote to everyone 18 years of age and older.
- Additionally, the 24th Amendment explicitly bans poll taxes, which often prevented low-income citizens of all races from voting.

Except the US is not their gov. If they want rep from their government they should go home.
Then why do we tax their income, purchases, real estate, etc?
Because they're not American citizens. Isn't that super obvious?
American citizens should have privileges and rights that non citizens do not have.
Voting in American elections at all levels should be solely restricted to American citizens.
If non citizens buy property here then they better be comfortable in abstaining from the political process and letting the citizens decide issues.
Ok jonstoh, since this is a gun board I'll give you an example how are you going to feel if anytown, NY enacts a local ordnance banning all semi auto guns within town limits and it's determined non citizens were a part of that voting process?
They're not mutually exclusive.
If you buy something you pay sales tax.
If you own property you pay taxes.
If you want to vote BECOME A CITIZEN.
The constitution is for US citizens rights. Not non citizens.
