Did Democrats Ask for Allowing the Non-Citizens to Vote? Truth Revealed About the Viral Claim
By There has been a social media post that went viral in May 2024 talking about how 143 Democrats in Congress have voted to allow non-citizens to vote in the US elections. As the assertion might be misleading, the votes are in strict adherence with the local rules of Washington DC.
The Republicans spread rumors even over social media about how the Democrats are now encouraging non-US citizens to vote and increase support in their bag.
This inaccurate report about 143 Democrats voting to permit the non-citizens also has led many US citizens to believe that they now stand a chance to make a change in the US political scenario.
Social media, in this case, has been strongly impacted and people are now thinking about what lies the difference between them and the non-citizens. Even though the overall context was missing in this premise, netizens are assuming that non-citizens might be eligible to participate in the federal elections as well.
However, there should be one notion clear before voting. Even though a non-citizen might be liable to pay taxes, they however are not allowed to vote in Congress. Moreover, a non-voter delegate of Washington DC can now fully participate in voting for elections with the other 13 District Members of the Council.
