Tuesday, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) introduced a new bill to prevent non-citizens from voting in Washington, D.C. The bill follows a nearly-unanimous vote by the D.C. City Council to advance a bill that would allow non-citizens to vote in local elections—even if they have only resided in D.C. for 30 days.

Rep. August Pfluger: “If you’re in the United States illegally, you don’t have the right to vote—period. Liberals in Washington, D.C. who want to allow non-citizens to vote are putting the integrity of our election system at risk. My bill will put a stop to it. Americans deserve confidence in our elections and to know that only legal citizens are voting in the United States of America.”
