The U.S. House of Representatives just voted 266–148 to repeal Washington, D.C.’s Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, which allowed non‑U.S. citizens, including potentially illegal immigrants and foreign agents, to cast ballots in local elections.
Led by Rep. August Pfluger (R‑TX), the vote drew support from 56 Democrats, proving GOP fears that D.C.’s progressive experiment threatens the sanctity of American elections.
“PASSED: My bill to prohibit noncitizens from voting in DC elections just passed the House!” Pfluger wrote on X.
He added, “It’s common sense: Only American citizens should be able to vote in U.S. elections!”
