On May 23, 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill, H.R. 192, to repeal a District of Columbia law that allowed non-citizens, including illegal aliens and foreign agents, to vote in local elections. The bill, led by Rep. August Pfluger, aims to ensure that only American citizens can vote in D.C. elections. The legislation passed with a vote of 262-143, with 52 Democrats joining all Republicans in support. House Republicans argue that non-citizen voting dilutes the voting power of American citizens and undermines election integrity. Far Left Democrats, who primarily oppose the bill, argue that it is an overreach into D.C.'s local governance. The debate highlights a broader national conversation about voting rights and election integrity.
143 Democrats Voted Against Bill Barring Non-Americans Voting In DC Elections https://t.co/Gaa36tau9B
The House voted to block a DC law allowing noncitizens to vote in federal elections. It's a measure that follows the GOP effort to ban noncitizens from voting in federal elections -- something that has already been illegal for decades. W/ @mychaelschnell https://t.co/4waRIyH182

SHOCKING: 143 @HouseDemocrats voted today to allow non-citizens to vote in our nation’s capital. The sacred right to cast a ballot in the United States must always be reserved for American citizens — it is a cornerstone of our republic. https://t.co/OSd0eR2IPY

Glad that 52 House Democrats agree that illegal aliens and non-citizens should be prevented from voting in American elections. I look forward to my Senate Democrat colleagues arriving at the same realization. https://t.co/5j9Rcpxi0R

143 House Democrats just voted to allow noncitizens to vote in D.C. elections — an omen of what they might do across the nation. It's an affront to hardworking Americans, a defiance of our Constitution, and a threat to our national security. @HouseGOP and I won't stand for it.
Only American citizens should vote in American elections. I just voted for H.R. 192 to ban illegals from voting in our elections in our nation's capital. We must preserve this precious right for U.S. citizens and U.S. citizens alone.
Today, I voted to pass legislation to reject the D.C. City Council’s resolution allowing noncitizens to vote in D.C. elections. It’s simple: Only American citizens should be able to vote in Washington D.C.

Non-citizens should not vote in U.S. elections. Today, the House rejected the D.C. Council’s resolution allowing noncitizens to vote. 143 Democrats voted to allow non-citizens to vote—which tells you everything you need to know about where they stand on election integrity.
This isn’t complicated. Only Americans should vote in American elections. Non-citizens are not Americans. Non-citizens should not be allowed to vote in American elections.
In America, only U.S. citizens should vote in our elections. I proudly supported @RepPfluger's measure to ban illegals from voting in D.C. elections. Shockingly, a majority of Democrats disagree. https://t.co/FaDW4dDeti

Voting in U.S. elections is a right of citizenship. That’s why I voted FOR H.R. 192, to prevent non-U.S. citizens from voting in D.C. elections. Congress has a constitutional duty to oversee the governance of D.C. and today @HouseGOP is sending a strong message that we OPPOSE…

Only allowing U.S. citizens to vote in U.S. elections shouldn’t be controversial. I just voted for H.R. 192 to prohibit non-U.S. citizens from voting in D.C. local elections for public office.
Noncitizen voting, whether one vote or one million votes, dilutes the voting power of the citizen voter. Glad to see my bill to bar noncitizens from voting in Washington, D.C. pass the House with strong bipartisan support. https://t.co/K183gHgmQi
American elections must be decided by American citizens- period, full stop. Just voted for @RepPfluger’s legislation to overturn DC’s law allowing noncitizens to cast ballots in local elections. I’ll always fight for free and fair elections Americans can have confidence in.

House to vote on bill today to bar noncitizens from voting in DC elections
In the District of Columbia, it is legal for non-citizens & illegal aliens to vote in local elections. I’m voting YES on H.R. 192 today to protect election integrity and stop non-citizen voting.
