The U.S. House of Representatives has passed H.R. 192, a bill aimed at prohibiting non-citizens, including illegal aliens and foreign agents, from voting in local elections in Washington, D.C. The bill, sponsored by Representative August Pfluger, received bipartisan support, passing with a vote of 262-143. Notably, 52 Democrats joined Republicans in voting for the bill, while 143 Democrats opposed it. Proponents argue that non-citizen voting dilutes the power of citizen voters and undermines the integrity of elections. House Republicans describe the bill as a commonsense piece of legislation. The bill is seen as a response to the D.C. Council’s decision to allow non-citizens to vote, which has been criticized for lessening and cheapening U.S. citizenship.
House passes bill to ban noncitizens from voting in local D.C. elections 143 Democrats voted for
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
House Republicans just passed legislation to repeal the radical D.C. Council’s law that allows non-citizens to vote in our nation’s capital. Only 52 Democrats supported this commonsense bill. https://t.co/V8K7a891ZM
Allowing noncitizens—including illegal aliens and foreign agents—to vote in elections dilutes the voting power of the citizen voter. My legislation ensures that only American citizens can vote in our Nation’s capital. https://t.co/evAW3o3ZGD

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.

The DC government is actively calling for illegal immigrants to vote in our elections. Only American citizens should be able to vote in our elections. I am eager to vote for H.R. 192 today to ban noncitizens from voting in elections in DC! https://t.co/smEQMUdeVP
Unbelievable. If Democrats had their way, non-citizens, including those here illegally, would be allowed to vote in D.C. elections. @RepPfluger’s H.R. 192 is a common sense piece of legislation and I’m proud to support it. https://t.co/O8ZBpAsDIv

Only American citizens should vote in American elections. Period. I’m supporting @RepPfluger’s bill, H.R. 192, to preserve this sacred right for U.S. citizens and U.S. citizens alone.
The House is beginning one hour of debate on H.R. 192 – To prohibit individuals who are not citizens of the United States from voting in elections in the District of Columbia (Sponsored by @RepPfluger/ Oversight and Accountability Committee).
If you’re not a CITIZEN of the United States, you should not be able to vote in our elections. Today, House Republicans are upholding our Constitution with H.R. 192, ensuring only citizens vote in D.C.’s local elections, despite Far Left Democrats pushing for illegal immigrants…
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.
Even the @washingtonpost Editorial Board knows the DC Council’s bill allowing noncitizens to vote in their elections is ABSURD. It’s simple: ONLY American citizens should be able to vote in American elections. https://t.co/cbsGsCn50C
The D.C. government is diluting the votes of American citizens and endangering national security by allowing illegal aliens to vote, plus foreign national employees at embassies of hostile governments. This is a slap in the face to Americans and must end. https://t.co/HfEgkW4XNz
The city of DC is now ENCOURAGING illegal immigrants and foreign nationals to vote in local elections—completely disregarding federal law. The House is voting on legislation this week to stop this madness and ensure only AMERICAN CITIZENS can vote in our Nation’s capital. https://t.co/VnP47qMumn
COMMENT: It is expected that the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on FIT21 on Wednesday. https://t.co/kSo2xq8dqP
Non-citizens shouldn’t be voting in U.S. elections, period. This week Congress must vote to overturn D.C.’s misguided law that will allow all non-citizens, including illegal aliens, diplomats, and foreign agents working for their home country, from voting in D.C. elections.
The U.S. House is voting THIS WEEK on my bill to block noncitizens from voting in our nation's capital. This should be a no-brainer. Only U.S. citizens have earned the right to vote in this country. https://t.co/eRh1F40ubq
