No way.  I was repeatedly told by our resident left wingers that illegal aliens coming here has absolutely nothing to do with gaining an advantage in figure elections.

It was worse than it sounds.  
 

“The House of Representatives voted Tuesday to scrap a Washington, DC, law permitting noncitizens to vote in local elections and overturn another local law curtailing law enforcement liability protections.

In a 266 to 148 vote with one present, the House moved to nix the 2022 Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act and ensure that only US citizens can vote in DC elections.”

Several small cities or towns allow non citizens to vote in local elections because those elections tend to have bigger impacts on those communities. As long as it's not state or federal, it's not a big deal. They can't hold public office. We count them in the census every decade, so allowing them a say in local affairs isn't a big deal.

illegal aliens are also counted in determining house seats

This is complete bull*I poop my pants, don't laugh at me*. The local elections, especially for judges are very important.  Wow.

Are there different voter registrations for local, state, and federal elections?

AI Overview

In the United States,

you do not need to register separately for local, state, and federal elections. 

 

One registration covers all levels of elections. Once you are registered to vote in your state, you can participate in all elections held within that state and county, including federal, state, and local contests. 

 

Key points:

• Single Registration: Registering to vote generally covers your eligibility for elections at all levels of government.
• State-Specific Rules: Each state has its own specific rules and deadlines for voter registration. You can find these rules on your state's election website or through resources like Vote.gov.
• Update Information: You should update your voter registration if you change your address, name, or political party affiliation (if required for primary elections in your state).
• National Mail Voter Registration Form: You can use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register or update your information, but remember to follow your state's specific instructions. 

•  

In summary, registering to vote once is sufficient for participation in all relevant elections within your jurisdiction, from local elections to the Presidential election.

But there are separate registration forms for different levels. For example, you can register as a federal only voter. Also there's only about 20 towns or places that allow non citizens to vote, and it is explicitly in local elections only. The 1996 immigration bill passed by Congress makes voting for federal office illegal for non citizens.

Brentwood: The Brentwood town charter says "Every person shall be a qualified voter who (a) is a citizen of the United States or, if not a citizen, is a lawful resident as defined by US Citizen and Immigration Services to reside in the United States ... (c) is a resident of the Town of Brentwood, (d) has resided within the corporate limits of the town for one year ... ."

This is like legal residents, just not citizens voting for the school board or whatever.

 

I don't know what Trump card Jimmy thought he had here. Does he think they'd get to vote for President if DC voted to allowed legal residents to vote because the President is legal? LOL...

There are plenty of people who have been here for a long time, who work here.

Wait until Trump...invariably starts granting more worker ID cards(it won't be a green card and he'll have to make something up to claim he's gotten rid of all the criminals he's claimed came here).

 

He's not going to do nothing as this destroys farming in Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma and/or causes the cost of food to sky rocket.

In the end, the bill they were going to pass would have been more productive, but less to run on.

Just the start of things.  Too bad they f d up and lost to the orange man.  Bahahahahahhaha

YEP you’re exactly right and why Dems want unlawfuls here.  It’s not to work the menial jobs. It’s to  To control the amount of members in congress and to eventually vote. Citizen or not. In EVERY ELECTION.

Each criminal he deports is a win.  One, ten, five thousand. Whatever.
