The GOP-led House passed a bill with bipartisan support on Thursday to prevent noncitizens from voting in local Washington, DC, elections. This is a further push for election integrity by Republicans at a time when radicals in the Biden administration have facilitated the greatest illegal alien invasion this nation has ever seen. The latest government data shows ten million migrants have invaded the country through the open southern border. Predictably, the majority of Democrats opposed the bill.

Fifty-two Democrats joined 210 Republicans in favor of bill HR 192, while 143 Democrats opposed.

The bill bars noncitizens from voting in "an election for public office in the District of Columbia or in any ballot initiative or referendum in the District of Columbia." Federal law already prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal-level elections.

Republicans blasted the local law this week, arguing that noncitizens should not participate in local elections in the nation's capital. 

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) released a statement on X that said "radical policy" from local DC politicians is "anti-American and dilutes the constitutional rights of DC residents." 

Here's what other politicians are saying:

It's utterly absurd that a majority of Democrats voted against HR 192. Now you understand why radicals in the White House have flooded the nation with millions of illegals. This lawless behavior is a move to steal elections.
