Slaps hand on table "Thank you!" Seriously when should a nation allow non citizens to participate in their politics? Should I go cast a vote in france because I vacationed there for 2 weeks at the same time they were holding an election? NO!

@RonJDuncan non citizens can become naturalized and I think that should be their reward for pursuing naturalization Hey, you want a say in government policy? Then focus on getting naturalized not just your long term residence

@ChimeraTruely the Americans that mail their votes in still have their legal residence set inside the US Such as military members, who MUST declare a state or territory to be their legal residence prior to joining, even if they are stationed overseas

Federal constitutional law in voting is VERY clear Why states thought they can subvert it I have no idea Watch as those who support the law of non citizens voting argue that it's "states rights" to do so

@ChimeraTruely we are the only spot in the universe that cannot participate in a national level election Since an astronaut in space sent in his vote
