House Votes to Ban Noncitizen Voting in D.C.
TL;DR Summary
The House passed a measure to repeal a D.C. law allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections, with 52 Democrats joining Republicans. The bill is unlikely to pass in the Democratic-led Senate but serves to amplify false claims of widespread illegal voting by noncitizens, a narrative pushed by former President Trump and echoed by congressional Republicans.
