Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted February 12, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 12, 2023 Alaska’s Rep. Mary Peltola, staying true to her theme of voting with the most extreme members of Congress, this week voted in favor of allowing illegal aliens to vote in Washington, D.C. The vote came as she opposed House Joint Resolution 24, which would nullify the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, enacted by the council of the District of Columbia in October. That act allows noncitizens the ability to vote in local elections in the district. The House resolution passed by a 260-161 vote, as 42 Democrats joined Republicans on Thursday to try to override the D.C. Council. But not Peltola, who voted with the farthest-left representatives such as Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Jerry Nadler, against the bill, which now heads to the Senate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who voted for this should be ashamed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
