(Worthy News) – The Republican National Committee says it has filed a lawsuit against New York City after new Mayor Eric Adams (D) failed to block a bill that will allow noncitizens to vote in local elections.
The bill, which officially became law on Sunday, will allow the more than 800,000 noncitizens who live in NYC the right to vote in local elections. The City Council approved the measure in December.
“I believe that New Yorkers should have a say in their government, which is why I have and will continue to support this important legislation. I look forward to bringing millions more into the democratic process,” Adams told The New York Times. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
