College Park, Maryland won't allow non-citizens to vote in local elections after all
Washington Examiner ^ | September 16, 2017 | Caitlin Yileck

The College Park City Council voted 4-3 Tuesday night to allow legal permanent residents and illegal immigrants to participate in municipal elections. One council member did not vote."For most Council actions, a simple majority of Councilmembers present must vote in favor of an item for it to be adopted," the city said in a news release. "However, changes to the Charter have a different requirement. The City Charter was amended in June to require the affirmative vote of six elected officials to change the Charter."

Too stupid to know their own rules. Maybe letting illegal aliens to vote is a scream for help.

If you let Illegals vote would that also mean citizens can stop paying taxes

Next election should be pretty interesting.

They’ll allow it. They just realized that they better not make it official. Illegals are voting all over the country.

First, non-citizens, then, non-residents.

Then, just allow online voting and they don’t even have to log in.

**

The implications [stupidity] of passing such an ordinance are mind-boggling.

Of course, passage of ordinances allowing non-citizens to vote are ultimately intended to destroy the voting process entirely. Ultimately whichever candidate(s) for city government can gather the most bus-loads of live bodies can get himself/herself elected.

If this council was that close on passing it, they will most likely try it again. The article doesn’t provide much information on what choices remain.

When illegals are allowed to vote all laws are erased.
