Dems that want non-citizens to vote for them
Over 140 Democrats on Thursday voted against a Republican-led bill that prevents noncitizens from voting in Washington, D.C., elections.
H.R. 192 passed the House with 52 Democrats joining Republicans, despite House Democratic leadership’s campaign to lobby their members to oppose the bill. The 143 Democrats that voted against the bill included Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and former Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California.
The bill was introduced by Republican Rep. August Pfluger of Texas and was originally voted on in February of 2023 in response to the District of Columbia Council’s Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022. This local ordinance allowed noncitizens and illegal immigrants to vote in local elections in the nation’s capital.
The bill passed the House in 2023 with 162 Democrats voting against the bill and 42 Democrats voting with Republicans, but was voted down in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Ten additional Democrats joined Republicans during Thursday’s vote compared to the previous attempt at passing the bill.

I don't think that people who are in the country illegally should be able to cancel my vote and that of other citizens.
