(a)It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner, unless—

Regarding my post #10.

No alien can vote in any election for any federal office including President, VP, Senator or Representative except:

If the election also involves non-federal positions, an alien can vote for such positions if the state allows it but CANNOT vote for federal positions.

If the alien “reasonably believed at the time of voting in violation of such subsection that he or she was a citizen of the United States.” (That’s BS in my opinion).
