Original Note:
Rep. Van Duyne is conflating federal U.S. elections, with local D.C. elections. While noncitizens cannot vote in federal elections, they can cast ballots for some local positions in municipalities whose state constitution does not explicitly ban noncitizen voting. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/21/us/politics/noncitizen-voting-explainer.html https://www.usa.gov/who-can-vote https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/noncitizens-are-not-voting-federal-or-state-elections-heres-why
