New York’s highest court has officially struck down the city’s controversial non-citizen voting law, delivering a major victory for U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis and election integrity advocates. The Court of Appeals upheld rulings from two lower courts, declaring the law unconstitutional and reinforcing that only U.S. citizens have the right to vote. Malliotakis hailed the decision as a crucial step in preserving trust in America’s elections, slamming left-wing lawmakers for pushing policies that “dilute the voices of American citizens.”
I’m pleased that we prevailed in our final round in court and have stopped New York City’s Non-Citizen voting law once and for all! The state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, has sided with us and two lower courts in striking down this unconstitutional law. There is nothing more important than preserving the integrity of our election system, and in today’s age, the government should be working to create more trust in our elections, not less. The right to vote is a sacred right given only to United States citizens. It is my hope that left wing lawmakers stop pushing these unconstitutional and reckless measures that dilute the voices of American citizens.
