US judge finds law criminalizing noncitizen voting unconstitutional
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported48m ago
A United States judge has ruled that a federal law criminalizing noncitizen voting is unconstitutional. The judicial decision centers on the division of authority under the U.S. Constitution regarding elections.
According to the ruling written by Leibowitz, the Constitution reserves the power to set voter qualifications exclusively for individual states rather than Congress. Despite this constitutional provision, every state in the nation currently requires U.S. citizenship for individuals to participate in voting.
