(The Center Square) -
Polling has shown that a large majority of Americans oppose allowing non-U.S. citizens to vote in elections.
 
On Election Day, voters backed up that sentiment.

Eight states had citizen-only voting initiatives on their ballots Nov. 5. These initiatives passed by wide margins in each state.

Separately, a measure in Santa Ana, California, that would have opened the door for non-citizens to vote in citywide elections was soundly defeated.

"Voters in eight states sent a very clear and unmistakable message: Only citizens should vote," Paul Jacob, a board member at Americans for Citizen Voting, said. "Every ballot measure passed by whopping margins."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Who cares what the people of this country think?  The only thinking that counts is done by democrat politicians, the MSM, and liberal judges. *****rollingeyes*****

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

I can only speak for my State, but the citizenship requirement for voters here is written into the State Constitution.

I wonder how many others have similar restrictions.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
