New York City’s law to allow legal non-citizens to vote in municipal elections went into effect on January 9, 2022, but today, the New York Court of Appeals has ruled that the law is invalid. Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis celebrated the win in a post on X.com, writing:
I’m pleased that we prevailed in our final round in court and have stopped New York City’s Non-Citizen voting law once and for all! The state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, has sided with us and two lower courts in striking down this unconstitutional law. There is nothing more important than preserving the integrity of our election system, and in today’s age, the government should be working to create more trust in our elections, not less. The right to vote is a sacred right given only to United States citizens. It is my hope that left wing lawmakers stop pushing these unconstitutional and reckless measures that dilute the voices of American citizens.
Bobbie Anne Cox, a fellow at the Brownstone Institute, explained on X.com:
HUGE win for the Constitution today. In a 6-to-1 decision, New York’s highest court has struck down NYC’s law allowing non-citizens to vote! “Whatever the future may bring, the New York Constitution as it stands today draws a firm line restricting voting to citizens.”
