RNC challenges Vermont legislation giving voting rights to non-citizens
Fox News
The RNC is suing two Vermont cities over new town charters that allow noncitizens to vote in municipal elections
The case centers around the Vermont cities of Montpelier and Winooski, who in May had changes to their charters approved by the state's Senate that allowed non-citizens to vote in their municipal elections.
"I believe if someone wishes to be able to vote they should be a citizen," Vermont state Sen. Brian Collamore told Fox News in an interview at the time. "The Montpelier bill allows what is defined as a legal resident of the United States to be able to vote in city elections. ... If someone is here on a permanent basis, why would he or she not want to participate in the process to become a citizen?"
