A New York appeals court ruled Wednesday that a law allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections in New York City violates the state’s constitution.
The Appellate Division for the Second Judicial Department ruled against the bill allowing noncitizens to vote in local New York City elections, including for mayor, in a 3-1 decision released Wednesday. The New York City Council approved the bill in 2021, which quickly faced a lawsuit challenging the law after Mayor Eric Adams (D) enacted it in 2022.
“This case concerns the validity of Local Law No. 11 (2022) of City of New York, which created a new class of voters eligible to vote in municipal elections consisting of individuals who are not United States citizens and who meet certain enumerated criteria,” Associate Justice Paul Wooten wrote in the appeals court decision.
“We determine that this local law was enacted in violation of the New York State Constitution and Municipal Home Rule Law, and thus, must be declared null and void,” he added.
This delivered a win for those who filed a lawsuit against the bill, including Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.), who celebrated the news on X, formerly Twitter.
“Great news! We won in the appellate court and @NYCMayor’s attempt to implement the law to register noncitizens to vote in #NYC elections has been struck down. This is a big victory in preserving both the integrity of our elections & the voice of American citizens!” she said.
Others who joined the lawsuit included New York City Council Republican leader Joe Borelli, who told Politico it was “an easy case.” Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella was also listed as a plaintiff in the case.
“All they had to do was read the state constitution and municipal law. The criticism falls on the proponents of the bill,” Borelli told Politico.
A New York Supreme Court justice also ruled in 2022 that the law violated the state’s constitution. The law would have allowed an estimated 800,000 noncitizens to vote in New York City if it was enacted, according to The Associated Press.

Will Mayor Swagger and the "Woke" City Council appeal ?
They the illegal migrants still get representation in Congress.
They should not be counted in our country's census.
Originally it was just Land Owners.
Stop making sense. This is NYC...
Its about time. This world has been upside down since the Democrats took over.
Somebody's got to take a stand. Virtually no Democrat is honest enough to.
This is not a left or right- dem or republican issue. This is a common sense issue. Let’s stop the politics.
This is great news!
I APPROVE OF THIS! "DiVeRsItY iS oUr STrEnGtH!"
But the only way they can enforce it is to make them show ID. Other than that, there are crooked people working at these polls who will easily allow these illegals to vote.
So All the bullshit over the last couple of years or sao have gained the democrats nothing?
Remember what those mofos have put us through at the next election.
VOTE 'EM OUT!

They can't. The NY Court of Appeals is the last option.

Did you ever hear the one about the illegal migrant who dyed her hair blonde and then snatched a woman's purse so she could buy a happy meal?
Mayor Eric once again insists NYC is ‘safest big city in America’ despite surge of migrant melees. What do the Sheeple think ?
Can we just celebrate the Great Replacement?
What do the Sheeple think ?
Jackass mayor thought he was going to get a jackpot bonanza in $ billion's dollars for taking these pieces of shit. He counted his chickens before he even had eggs and bet the whole farm down the toilet.
How do Democrats like their stupid black hip hop mayor, city council and DA and attorney general now?
I also think the federal government may be withholding something?
Perhaps the government blew a big wad of peoples social security money and see these animals a solution. As in give them working papers so they can pay taxes into the system, or see something in the future where they will need them for the Army & Navy?
I know one thing having been to places like Chicago, Bakersfield, South Central Los Angeles these border jumpers (most of them) will never work, cant work because they are too stupid or only know how to survive by stealing & violence's like in Venezuela.
Most cant not read or write in any language they are completely illiterate. With them joining a gang and organized crime, prostitution, running guns and drugs is the only way to make big money fast!
They aint gonna work, why would most of them ?
Speaking of Venezuela, they just announced crime is down 300% and have a surplus of over 800 million us dollars because all the jails, public housing & lunatic asylums are nearing 90% empty.
They took a tip from Fidel Castro and sent all their scum, feral impoverished baby makers problem people form the hills to our country!!
Yes indeed stupid New York Democrat voters!!!
