52 Democrats joined ranks with Republicans in the House to vote against a DC law allowing noncitizens to vote in the nation’s capital.

The vote was 262-143 in favor of repealing the law.

Here’s more from Fox News:

The House of Representatives advanced a bill Thursday to repeal a Washington, D.C. law that allows noncitizens to vote in local elections.

A whopping 52 Democrats joined Republicans on the measure, with 143 Democrats voting against it, for a final 262 to 143 vote.

The D.C. law was passed by the progressive city council in 2022 and recently survived a court challenge earlier this year.

Republicans who opposed the bill warned that allowing non-Americans to help decide what local officials run the nation’s capital could have negative effects on national security.

The problem is that with Democrats controlling the Senate, it seems unlikely that this bill will get the time of day needed to complete the process.
