Why? If you are a lawful permanent resident you should absolutely have the right to vote on how where you live is governed.

 @jessicamoellerhndojhiplnvc1302 it is not a privilege. It is a right.

The UK allows certain lawful residents to vote. Every country in the European Union allows certain lawful residents to vote. Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, Australia, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Cape Verde, certain Canadian Provinces, Chile, Colombia, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Hong Kong, Israel, Jamaica, the territory of Jersey, Malawi, Mauritius, Morocco, Namibia, New Zealand, St Kitts & Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent & the Grenadines, South Korea, Switzerland, Trinidad & Tobago, Uruguay and a few additional countries allow certain legal residents who are not citizens to vote. Only citizens of the US are so parochial as to believe taxation without representation is ok for people legally living and working in the country.

BY THE WAY NOTHING IN THE US CONSTITUTION PRECLUDES RESIDENTS OF THE SEVERAL STATES WHO ARE NOT CITIZENS FROM VOTING IN FEDERAL ELECTIONS AND UNDER THEIR FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT POWERS CONGRESS COULD EXTEND VOTING RIGHTS TO LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENTS TOMORROW IF THEY WANTED TO DO SO. The provision of the NY State Constitution interpreted by the AD 2d in this instance ignores that "members" of the state cannot be deprived of sufferage in Article 1, Section 1, and relies in a narrow reading of Article 2, Section 1 which the NY State Court of Appeals is likely to not ignore and oveturn.

@scray00 what if you are a citizen of a country that doesn't allow dual citizenship and you need to return to your home country with some regularity to take care of family business? I mean there are people in that scenario who have lived here for two decades.

@3rdFloorblog what part of this law allows lawful permanent residents the right to vote and oh by the way you can do that in Argentina.

@Sigurther it's the state constitution and the court in question ignored article 1 section 1 of the state constitution which contradicts their ruling.

@JLiznuts and the bill in question only applies to lawful permanent residents. What is more to reach this conclusion, the court ignored Article 1 Section 1 of the state constitution.
