Rep. Bryan Steil brings attention to DC’s laws allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections

Representative Bryan Steil (R-WI) sounds the alarm on Washington, D.C.’s laws allowing and encouraging noncitizens to vote in local elections. “Someone working at the Russian embassy who’s a Russian citizen, if they’ve resided in Washington, D.C. for 30 days, they can walk down to the polling state this November and vote in a municipal election,” he says. “They want to use Washington, D.C. as a petri dish and roll this out nationally.”
