Judge rules Congress cannot bar noncitizens from federal voting
Original: ‘Activist judge’ rules Congress cannot bar noncitizens from voting in federal elections
A US federal judge has ruled that Congress does not have the authority to prohibit noncitizens from voting in federal elections, a decision being sharply criticized by conservative outlets and figures who label the ruling the work of an 'activist judge'. The decision touches on a long-running debate over voter eligibility and states' control of election rules, and it is likely to fuel renewed political fights over voting rights and election integrity.
Why now: The ruling lands in the middle of a heated US political debate over noncitizen voting and election rules, drawing strong partisan reactions.
