Federal judge rules states must regulate noncitizen voting

Original: US federal judge finds states, not Congress, must regulate voting by noncitizens

A US federal judge has ruled that states, rather than Congress, hold the authority to regulate voting by noncitizens. The decision places responsibility for election rules on noncitizen participation with state legislatures, potentially shaping how states craft their own voting laws. The ruling lands amid ongoing national debate over election integrity and the division of power between federal and state governments.

Why now: The ruling touches the contested national debate over election rules and states' rights, drawing attention from both political sides.
