This illegal and typically outrageous Democrat power grab would have added one million new voters to NYC rolls. New York is under the boot of one party rule and our failure and decimation of our once great state is the result.
This is highly unusual good news from a tyrannical blue state.
New York’s highest court just struck down the NYC law that would’ve let over 800,000 noncitizens vote. The court rejected Democrats’ argument 6–1, declaring voting is a right reserved for U.S. citizens only.

NYC’s law allowing noncitizens to vote is dead as state’s highest court shuts it down
By Carl Campanile,Craig McCarthy and Matt Troutman, NY Post, March 20, 2025:
The Big Apple’s controversial law allowing noncitizens to vote in city elections was struck down by the state’s highest court Thursday.
The New York Court of Appeals ruled 6-1 that the law — passed by the City Council in late 2021, with the support of current Democratic mayoral candidates Adrienne Adams and Brad Lander — violated the state constitution.
“Whatever the future may bring, the New York Constitution as it stands today draws a firm line restricting voting to citizens,” the opinion states.
ADVERTISEMENTThe ruling closes the matter in the state courts and dashes hopes by many lefty City Council members and advocates of the city’s 800,000 green card holders getting a voice in local elections.
Former Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, who now serves as Mayor Eric Adams’ transportation commissioner, had introduced the bill.
As the bill wound its way through the Council, it racked up 36 co-sponsors, including from current-Speaker Adrienne Adams, Lander, now the city comptroller. Current city comptroller candidates Justin Brannan and Mark Levine also backed the bill.
The Council passed the legislation over the objections of Republicans, who viewed the proposed law as a nonstarter, especially because the state constitution appeared to clearly limit voting to US citizens.\
Adams himself never signed the bill, but also didn’t veto it. His inaction meant it passed into law just days into 2022.
The mayor still expressed support for the law, saying in a statement at the time: “New Yorkers should have a say in their government.”
“I believe allowing the legislation to be enacted is by far the best choice, and look forward to bringing millions more into the democratic process,” he said.
ADVERTISEMENTRepublican politicians, led by Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella, quickly challenged the law, arguing it was unconstitutional and would devalue the citizen New Yorkers’ votes.
