Trump narrowly won two states where Citizen Only amendments passed overwhelmingly
Voters in eight states voted to amend their state constitutions to require that voters be citizens of the United States. Citizen Only Voting Amendments in Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Wisconsin garnered lopsided majorities at the polls, according to an Americans for Citizen Voting Nov. 6 statement.
Vermont allows non-citizen voting in the Progressive/Democrat strongholds of Burlington, Montpelier and Winooski. Municipalities must first pass a charter change, which then must be approved by the Legislature before taking effect.
Gov. Phil Scott has vetoed municipal charter changes, only to see them overridden by the Legislature. He has indicated a willingness to consider a state-wide non-citizen voting law. With the loss of the Supermajority, it is unclear whether the Legislature has the will to seek statewide non-citizen voting.
In 2023, a national and state GOP challenge to Winooski’s non-citizen voting ordinance was rejected by the Vermont Supreme Court.
Non-citizens were allowed to vote in a Burlington referendum Tuesday, November 5 creating a police oversight panel. That charter change must be approved by the Legislature.
But voter appetite for non-citizen voting in local elections appeared negligible in the eight states, including two ‘battleground’ states in the presidential election.
“Voters in eight states sent a very clear and unmistakable message last night: Only citizens should vote,” said Americans for Citizen Voting Vice President of Outreach Jack Tomczak. “These Citizen Only Voting ballot measures also made a big difference in critical swing states. We won with 78 percent of the vote in North Carolina and 71 percent in Wisconsin.”
Republican Donald Trump won North Carolina with 51.1 percent of the vote and Wisconsin with 49.71 percent.
Non-citizen voting in municipal elections is also legal in California, Illinois, Maryland, and Washington, DC. The New York city council is currently blocked by the courts from letting 800,000 citizens of foreign countries vote in their local elections, but that case is on appeal.
Nineteen (19) cities currently allow non-citizen voting. Yesterday, voters in Santa Ana, California, decided not to become the 20th city, defeating Measure DD.
Federal law has prohibited non-citizen voting in federal elections since 1996. These Citizen Only Voting Amendments are amendments to state constitutions and have no impact on federal law or federal elections.
“Watch out in 2026! People in another dozen states are now anxious to pass these measures and clarify that only citizens can vote in their state and local elections,” concluded Tomczak.

There should be NO, non-citizen votes in the USA PERIOD! What part of ILLEGAL does the DEMS/PROG don’t understand? They are not immigrants. That is an offensive use of language for those who came here legally.
QED George Soros funded.
I’ve tried to get behind the mask of this guy… what IS his agenda that he can possibly benefit from this take down of a culture and society?
IS he the devil incarnate, or just one of his minions, or flying monkeys?
Clearly, Soros’ agenda isn’t based on humanity or God’s simple laws for a peaceful, loving society… money corrupts. Period.
Since I am (now) surrounded by “Soros Sympathizers” it appears that their agenda is to take over the entire country actually. They have taken over the (once) wonderful little town and treat us natives like dirt. I could add more, but will let you “fill in the blanks”.
About time Vermonters look seriously at what “illegal immigrants” means. It’s like a militantly pawning beggar coming into my house and saying Feed ME, House ME, and give ME your best.
The first voting bill the Trump administration should push:
1. One day voting.
2. No mail in voting or ballots except by request.
3. Paper Ballots
4. Counting machines only no internet access.
5. Voter ID
6. You must be a US citizen to vote in any election in the United States.
7. A voter rolls must be purged of ineligible voters before any election.
BEAT THE CHEAT
What would happen if i took a trip to a foreign country and tried to vote????
I look forward to voting in the next Mexican election. I plan on touring South America and voting in numerous countries where I have no skin in the game.
Lefties….dear lord they’re lost.
