Federal judge tossed lawsuit challenging D.C.’s nonresident voting law
A federal judge in Washington, D.C., dismissed a lawsuit challenging a district law that allows noncitizens to vote in local elections, ruling the plaintiffs did not prove the law violates their rights.  In an opinion issued Thursday, Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled against a group of seven plaintiffs — all of whom are U.S. citizens and registered to vote in D.C. — who argued the city’s “Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022” violates their Fifth Amendment rights.  The law, passed by the D.C. Council in 2022, removed the citizenship requirement for voting in municipal elections, allowing noncitizen residents to vote in local, but not federal elections, according to court
