Forget the Russian government — foreign nationals are increasingly gaining the ability to influence American elections more directly. They’re being granted the right to vote.
From Boston, where the city council is debating the move, to San Francisco, where non-citizens gained the right earlier this month in school-board elections, jurisdictions are looking to expand the boundaries of the electorate beyond its citizens.
Several Republicans fired back this week.
Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina announced a bill that would strip federal funding from states or localities that allow non-citizens to vote in their elections.
“Allowing non-citizens to water down the voice of American citizens at the voting booth disrespects their sacrifice and the value of American citizenship,” Mr. Duncan said in announcing the legislation. “Now more than ever, it is critical that we ensure only American citizens are casting ballots in this country.”

That's a real shame when Democrat's only way of winning is by getting illegal aliens and dead people to vote.
What amazes me is that in most jurisdictions, certain citizens, who happen to be convicted felons, can't vote but in those same places, there are enclaves where NON-Citizens CAN. WTF???
Noncitizen voters = Democrat voters
