Congress could ban illegal aliens from voting in DC

Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced legislation Thursday that would implement mandatory photo voter ID in Washington D.C. and make it so no illegal immigrants cannot vote in elections.

The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the legislation, which is titled the “American Confidence in Elections: District of Columbia Voter Identification Act.” The bill specifically targets the District of Columbia Council’s Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, which would allow illegal immigrants and legal non-citizens to vote in local elections. The D.C. city council passed the bill in late 2022 and transmitted it to Congress in January.

“Only American citizens should be voting in American elections. That’s why I introduced the District of Columbia Voter Identification Act to safeguard election integrity by implementing mandatory photo voter ID and ensuring only American citizens are casting ballots by instituting a citizenship requirement for voter registration,” Greene told the Caller before introducing the legislation.
