NY Republicans sue to block City Council measure allowing non-citizens to vote
2022-01-11
[NYPOST] A group of New York Republicans filed a lawsuit Monday to block a new law that will soon allow about 800,000 non-citizens to vote in local elections.The suit, filed in Staten Island Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
, asks a judge to issue an injunction that prevents the city Board of Elections and the mayor from "implementing the law in any respect" due to its unconstitutionality.

"The law is clear and the ethics are even clearer: we shouldn’t be allowing citizens of other nations to vote in our elections, full stop. We are only two weeks into the Adams Administration and he is already kowtowing to the radical City Council," New York Republican Party Chairman Nick Langworthy, a plaintiff in the suit, said in a statement.

"This lawsuit is the only thing that will stop them from their ultimate goal of eradicating all the lines between citizens and non-citizens," he said.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), who represents Staten Island and Brooklyn, called the new measure "careless," claiming it "dilutes" perspectives of US citizens.
