The Washington Post Editorial Board published a piece condemning a D.C. bill to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections by suggesting it could backfire on Democrats.
The Washington Post called recent efforts to allowin local elections a"bad idea" on Monday because it could affect Democrats’ chances in the midterms.
The board pointed out,"There’s nothing in this measure to prevent employees at embassies of governments that are openly hostile to the United States from casting ballots. Or foreign students who are studying abroad in Washington for a semester." The Washington Post editorial board came out against the D.C. Council's bid to open local elections to noncitizens.
Although the piece heavily criticized this local bill, some of the reasons included how bill could backfire on Democrats’ efforts nationwide.
