AOC SAYS GOP REVIVING 'LEGACY OF SLAVERY' BY ENDING NONCITIZEN VOTING RIGHTS IN DC

A bill introduced this year in the Connecticut state legislature would allow illegal immigrants to vote.

The legislation would amend the state’s constitution to "allow undocumented immigrants who are residents of the state to be admitted as electors for purposes of voting in municipal and state elections."

CONNETICUT STATE BILL WOULD ALLOW ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO VOTE IN STATE ELECTIONS: 'COMPLETELY OUTRAGEOUS'

House lawmakers debated a resolution that would disapprove of a D.C. Council law allowing noncitizens and illegal immigrants to vote in the city. Several Democrats took to the floor to argue that Republicans were looking to micromanage the city, and Ocasio-Cortez went further by saying the GOP seems to be targeting minorities.

She said Republicans "claim they believe in the sacred right to vote while denying that right to vote to an overwhelmingly Black city" and accused Republicans of trying to "meddle into the business of D.C. residents."
