Texas Democratic state lawmakers blocked a Constitutional amendment requiring citizenship to vote in elections from making it out of the legislature and onto the November ballot.
A group of over 50 Texas Democratic House lawmakers voted “present” in late May to prevent Texas Senate Joint Resolution 35 from making it out of the chamber. A handful of Democrats joined more than 80 Republicans who supported the legislation after it passed the Texas Senate with near unanimous support.
“The Democrats say they do not support non-citizens voting but then given a chance to vote to clearly set that policy in the state constitution where it belongs,” Chris Arps, president of Americans for Citizen Only Voting, told the Daily Caller. “Democrats are playing a game.”
The Constitutional amendment must receive 100 votes out of 150 to pass the House and make it on the November 2023 ballot for Texas voters to decide whether it should be adopted, according to Texas Rep. Matt Schaefer. The state’s Constitution currently prevents people under 18, convicted felons and the mentally incompetent from voting.
Federal law prohibits non-citizens from voting in national elections, but it does not apply to state and local elections, according to Ballotpedia. Seven states specify that non-citizens are not allowed to vote in state and local elections and three allow non-citizens to vote, in addition to Washington, D.C.

The Takevoer proceeds apace
More and more Demoncrats ... I mean Democrats become a terminal cancer killing this Republic ... no I actually mean Demoncrats
And Phelan wants to work with the perverts
I am of the opinion that the only way forward to fixing out elections is at the state level and with state legislators. If we (conservatives) can not force this issue, we are done.
As a warning to other states, and as a Colorado resident, once the laws change to allow all kinds of cheating, you will not see another conservative win.
It is NOT ‘playing a game’ when that is the plan .
Maybe they’re all afraid to vote, knowing they’re sitting illegally, but not likely.
elected Democrats: treacherous scum who undermine society and sovereignty, enemies of We the People
It is crap like this that makes an Article V convention more and more a requirement if we are to save this nation.
“Democrats know they can’t get elected if they run as what they are, so they run as “republicans”, then stab us in the back every chance they have.”
That’s true but Republican voters continue to reelect those same RINOs over and over again, even after they’ve been exposed as being RINOs (Democrats posing as Republicans). Republican voters are stuck on stupid.
Democrats doing what most Democrats do, undermine America, help take jobs away from decent, hard working American citizens and legal immigrants, and subvert the Constitution.
