Original: ‘Activist judge’ rules Congress cannot bar noncitizens from voting in federal elections
A federal judge has ruled that Congress cannot bar noncitizens from voting in federal elections, a decision criticized by critics who labeled the jurist an 'activist judge.' The ruling touches on an ongoing national debate over voting eligibility and election safeguards, with conservatives warning it undermines election integrity and supporters viewing it as a defense of constitutional limits on congressional power. The decision is likely to fuel further political and legal battles over voting rules.
Why now: The ruling lands amid heated national debate over noncitizen voting and election integrity, making it politically explosive.
