And at the Federal level, even LEGAL immigrants can’t vote, though I guess some local and state elections do allow them to vote.

Maybe we ought to go back to only property owners can vote.

They pay taxes indirectly through rent? How do we know that? It’s not like they’re documented tenants. If New haven schools get any Federal Aid then I as a Federal taxpayer should get to vote there as well.

It shouldn't have ever been changed from that.

Note: I would amend that to all property owners and not just "white" property owners as it was back in the day.
