Republicans Increase Pressure On Democrats With New DC Bill

There’s a new bill in the works that’s about to impact Washington, D.C.

It’s H.R. 192 and the House is setting up to vote on it this week.

And it states that it’s goal is:

“To prohibit individuals who are not citizens of the United States from voting
in elections in the District of Columbia.”

Seems clear cut enough.

And logical.

So guess how the Democrats feel about it?

Republicans are introducing a bill on Wednesday or Thursday to stop Washington DC illegals from voting in local elections. The caucus has told Democratics to vote against it, and it is doubtful to pass the Senate and President Biden to sign it.https://t.co/AFK94jmLmD

Washington Examiner reports:

The House is set to vote on a bill that would make it illegal for noncitizens in Washington, D.C., to vote in local elections, with Republicans hoping to push Democrats into a corner just months ahead of the November election.

Lawmakers will vote on the legislation later this week, which would overturn a local law allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections deciding city laws and electing members of the Council of the District of Columbia. Democrats are already looking to thwart those efforts, and House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA) is urging party members to vote against the bill when it comes to the floor, according to Axios. 

The vote comes one year after House Republicans previously tried to ban noncitizens from voting in the district, with that measure passing the lower chamber in a 260-162 vote. However, the legislation never made it to the floor in the Democratic-led Senate.

However, 42 House Democrats voted in favor of the legislation last year — prompting Republicans to put their counterparts on the record once again as they make election security a top issue heading into November.

“Extreme House Democrats are already on the record supporting giving illegal migrants the right to vote and any change in their position is just disgusting election-year politics,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Will Reinert said in a statement. “We will be watching and holding these frauds accountable if they try to pull the wool over voters’ eyes.”

The vote comes as GOP leadership looks to target election laws, with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) also working to advance a bill that would ban noncitizens from voting in federal elections. Republican leaders have sought to tie it to the surge of illegal immigration at the border, using it as a leading attack against the Biden administration.

Yikes!! 😳 Which party is for #electionintegrity? House Minority Leader Katherine Clark's (D-Mass.) office said lawmakers are "urged to VOTE NO" on House bill HR 192. The .@HouseGOP bill would block a D.C. law allowing non-citizen voting. House vote likely this week.…

And this bill is being attacked by Katherine Clark (D-MA), the same Katherine who has an antifa trans kid that assaulted the police.

This is the kind of people that are making laws for us?

It appears that the child of Democrat House Minority Whip Katherine M. Clark was arrested for assaulting police as part of an #antifa event in Boston last night.

The Democrats are working hard to train illegals how to vote.

An agency of the District of Columbia held a training session last month to teach illegal immigrants and other noncitizens how to vote, according to documents obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch.
