Liberal Judges Join Conservatives To Plunge Knife Into Heart Of Blue City’s Noncitizen Voting Law

Liberal judges on New York’s highest court sided with conservatives Thursday to reject a law that would have given noncitizens the right to vote.

The law, passed by the New York City Council in December 2021, would have enabled nearly 800,000 “lawful permanent residents” to vote in local elections. The New York Court of Appeals ruled 6-1 to strike it down.

“[I]t is plain from the language and restrictions contained in Article II that ‘citizen’ is not meant as a floor, but as a condition of voter eligibility: the franchise extends only to citizens whose right to vote is established by proper proofs and who vote by ballot,” Chief Judge Rowan Wilson wrote in the ruling.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
