According to the judge, the seven voters who initiated the lawsuit failed to prove any individual disadvantage stemming from the inclusion of noncitizens in the voting process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The seven D.C. residents who initiated the lawsuit contended that the law, passed in 2022 but scheduled to take effect during the 2024 elections, violates the 5th Amendment to the Constitution and the &#8220;constitutional right of citizen self-government.&#8221; They argued that participation in federal elections is exclusively designated for U.S. citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">House Republicans sought to obstruct the law, which, like all legislation in Washington, undergoes congressional review. Their efforts in early 2023, however, were not pursued by the Senate before the expiration of the 30-day deadline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/2933971\/judge-dismisses-lawsuit-against-dc-noncitizen-voting-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source: Washington Examiner<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has thrown out a lawsuit disputing a local law permitting noncitizens to participate in local elections but not federal ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1559,"featured_media":17639,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1113,1114],"tags":[1685,1687,1686,1420],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
