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, not Congress, hold the authority to regulate voting by noncitizens. The decision places responsibility for election rules on noncitizen participation with individual state legislatures rather than the federal government. The ruling is likely to fuel ongoing national debate over election administration, states' rights, and the role of Congress in setting voting standards.
Why now: The ruling touches the contentious national debate over election rules and states' rights, drawing attention from both political sides.
