Officials in College Park are weighing a plan that would make their city the largest in Maryland to give undocumented immigrants a right to vote in local elections, a long-standing practice elsewhere in the state that has drawn new scrutiny amid the simmering national debate over immigration.
The Prince George’s County city, home of the flagship University of Maryland campus and some 30,000 residents, is considering a measure to let noncitizens cast ballots for mayor and City Council — making it the latest target in a movement that has had more success in Maryland than anywhere else in the United States.
College Park officials are debating the charter amendment after a divisive national election in which immigration played a prominent part.

Maryland city mulling over idea to let illegal immigrants vote
A total of 10 municipalities across two counties allow noncitizens to vote in local elections. Voters in Takoma Park, a liberal enclave in Montgomery County, narrowly approved a referendum in making the town one of the first to allow the practice in Maryland.
It was preceded by Barnesville — a small town near Sugarloaf Mountain in Montgomery County — has allowed noncitizens to vote since 1918 and Somerset, which approved noncitizen voting in 1976.
The number of communities in Maryland adopting the measure has surged in recent months. Hyattsville in Prince George’s County approved immigrant voting just last year, followed by Mount Rainier, also in Prince George’s County.

How nice, diluting the vote of the American Citizen. Those politicians that allow illegal aliens to vote, should be tried and executed. Also, this shows how dumbed down the American citizen in Maryland is, when they allow this to happen!
(“..Barnesville — a small town near Sugarloaf Mountain in Montgomery County — has allowed noncitizens to vote since 1918 and Somerset, which approved noncitizen voting in 1976…”).
Criminals on both sides of the illegal occupancy disaster. However, given time and if left unchallenged/unchanged…when the illegals outnumber the legals…such conniving today by the liberal crowd so as to build an illegal voter base favoring present day socialist Democrat ideals….the tables will turn and they will find the ones whom they illegally abetted over the years will subvert them requiring of them immediate compliance to THEIR set of ideals. The criminally minded liberal crowds of today may not be here to witness, but their children and grandchildren will then be working the demand for labor jobs and learning to chant such campaign slogans as…”Viva la Raza!”
Bottom line, nodisguisin, is that the lying COMMUCRATS have SO fouled their political nest with WHITE American voters that nobody with any SENSE will vote for them, and the only way they can win an election is to STEAL IT. So they are trying to REPLACE white Americans with a new, more compliant, and easier to deceive voter base. If the people in Maryland have ANY SENSE–doubtful, since many of them are Federal employees. career politicians and lib-tards–they will NOT allow these scheming VERMIN to get away with this BLATANT power grab!
When you tamper with the ballot box, you change the nature of the country and we are no longer a Constitutional Republic. This is treason of the highest order. Can anyone name me something more damaging to the nation than taking away our nation?
People doing this should be tried for treason and executed.
It certainly seems that no oath of office is required for these traitorous cretins…
AND HOW THE HELL has a law on their books giving ILLEGAL invaders the right to vote, survived since 1918??!?
spot on drgadget people have voted our nation away
to the leftwing socialist.and they dont care about law.
When town officials are sworn in, is there an oath they agree to or has that been removed?
Folks seem to complain about what is going on but when they reelect the same folks to the office and expect something different???/
Here we are talking about Mary Land, a land filled with Progressive Socialists. This is their way of bringing America down to where they can become the dictators controlling everything from the food you can buy to what they will allow you to be paid. These people are even worse than Anarchists, read Cloward and Piven faithful. They could not care less what you think. Their thoughts are the correct ones. You will learn. They are the Borg, “Resistance is Futile” in their minds. Our resistance is obligatory. Those who continue saying they are conservatives when they are Deep State Socialists will be dealt with in the next election or before if we can round up enough recall signatures.
Constitutional amendment 19
The right of the citizens of The United States shall not be denied or abridged by The United States or any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Constitutional amendment 26
The right of citizens of the United States who are 18 years of age or older, to vote, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of age.
The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
There it is in black and white. Only citizens can vote. All congress has to do is pass a law that says you have to be a citizen to vote in accordance with The Constitution. Trump would sign it immediately. Obama saying that non-citizens can vote is totally wrong.
Then why has no one SUED THE PANTS off of them for violating both of those amendments??
I own, pay taxes on, and live in two houses in different cities. I would love to be able to vote in the local elections in both places. Our laws do not permit this and I can live with it. Perhaps if I were an invasive illegal…..
Same here. Our laws prevent US from voting in two places, even if we pay taxes in both places.. SO WHY Can these towns get away with allowing illegal invaders to vote, ESPECIALLY when they don’t pay taxes period??
well, we had enough yet?
Jay, we have had enough however these Libs at the local level are stopping Trump and his team at every turn. They are part of the larger swamp that must be drained.
Sorry. But the “Conservatives in Name Only” in the House kept the President from being recess appointments. Purely 12 year olds throwing a hissy fit and holding their breath. I hope the President rescinds all the perks for Senators and Representatives and makes them pay for their own retirement like the rest of us have to do. Maybe then they will understand who is President.
Since the idiots in Moronland seem to keep electing these fools, obviously not.
The tar and feathers should come out for these politicians who are betraying the real citizens.
IMO they deserve a lot WORSE than just tarring and feathering..
First, stop buying into the CPUSA’s narrative of giving false legitimacy to criminal invaders, who, by definition, have NO rights under our Constitution other than the right to remain silent. An enabling politician should be tied back to back to each one of these miscreants, they should be loaded into a C130, flown over Mexico City and dropped.
Don’t be surprised when legal citizens start fighting back, because when there’s a open and notarious take over of our Cities and States there will eventually be a backlash to these anti-American politicians. I would not shed a tear to see in the news an alert announcement that there has been an armed attack on them, no surprise at all.
No one who is not a naturalized citizen should NEVER be allowed to vote in this country, much less a particular town or state. I do not believe they should be allowed the right to vote until they have lived here at least 8-10 years, have proof they are self-sustaining and not living off the taxpayers via welfare, food stamps, etc. Our country has already been dumbed down enough by the Obama administration do we want it dumbed down more by the NWO? No, No, No.
Lucky Lady, I don’t care HOW long they’ve been here, or how exemplary their behavior! If they are here illegally, they should NOT be voting in American elections, local, state, OR national, PERIOD!
AND imo any us citizen who DOES give them the right to vote, should forever lose THEIR RIGHT.. Cause they are violating their oaths of office to uphold OUR Constitution..
” . . . these are
folksuncivilized 3rd-worlders whohave a significantwant to drive a stake in our community.”There ya go, Councilwoman . . . fixed it for ya.
If I was one of the sane people of this city I would start a petition to recall these idiots and start legal proceedings to stop this insanity. There must at least one lawyer who will act on behalf of the city he lives in to represent the people who believe in the laws of this country.
You assume there are any sane people left in that cesspool.
The Constitution is clear in several places concerning a citizen’s right to vote, nothing about non-citizens. In Article XV about voting rights the states are warned not to abridge the rights of citizens to vote for various reasons, by allowing non-citizens to vote they are doing just that. If a person has not sworn allegiance to the United States that persons loyalty lies elsewhere and not necessarily to this country!
EXCELLENT point, Joe!
That’s a really STUPID idea, and here’s why: Illegals don’t own property or have ANY skin in the game on property taxes, so let’s give them the right to vote a bunch of new taxes on the people who are ALREADY paying for most of their upkeep, paying to educate their kids, etc.? I don’t think so! I’m sure the free-spending lib-tards in state and city governments would LOVE having a “rubber stamp” to get new taxes approved REGARDLESS of what the locals who pay the taxes want! Leave it to liberals to come up with a new, and really STUPID and UNCONSTITUTIONAL way to pick taxpayers’ pockets! Also, if they’re “registered” to vote in “local elections”, who wants to bet they won’t also show up and vote in NATIONAL elections? Most states have ONE voters’ registration for BOTH. This is just another left-tard END RUN around the Constitution to confer the right to vote on people who are CRIMINALS who illegally invaded our country. How STUPID–and BLATANTLY illegal–is that?
And that’s why i also feel those who don’t own property or are on welfare, should not have the right to vote…
Maryland wanting to give illegals that right to vote is a major threat against America and our working policy’s that protect us all. illegals don’t know our rules of law and the United States Constitution to be able to vote with any true knowledge of what going on in general. It would also be like stealing from the millions of people that have waited to be legal citizens of the United States
The black segment of society has caught on to them so now the Libs have to go to the next groups; that’s illegals and felons. What a sorry lot these Libs are, no concern for America and what it stands for just turn it into another socialist hell hole where the political libs live high on the hog and the rest of us are struggling. And people follow them because they don’t have what it takes to “make it” on their own. I hope they all rot in hell!
Middle class flight is making these cities desperate. If illegals do not come there, their cities will have a net loss of revenue. What a good example of lousy governance!
With the way things are headed by the left progressives, I can begin to imagine what our country will be like in 100 years from now. Pity. Tighten up immigration. Give citizenship to those who will/can contribute, pay taxes and ARE NOT ON WELFARE. Do no let anyone on Welfare vote and they have to pay taxes and contribute for two years before earning that priviledge. Minimize the time one can get government assistance and make it more restrictive. Finally, The handouts, without accountablility, have to STOP. Letting anyone come into our country and allowing them to vote will bring this country down. I can’t see how the progressive left’s don’t see this danger.
They see it alright.
They see it, McGill, and know EXACTLY what they are doing. If they get enough illegals registered to vote, they can do all KINDS of things, like remove our borders and let the ENTIRE THIRD WORLD flood in here, the better to advance globalist government, for instance. That is their plan, after all. They don’t GIVE A DAMN about the American citizens and legal immigrants they are disadvantaging with their “open borders” BS. All THEY care about is getting and keeping the political power to FORCE this country to join the global government.
This article is so typical of a State/city led by leftist, liberal, progressives who deem it acceptable to allow non-citizens of the United States to have a say in the electoral process of this Nation. Every State/City led by Democrats are failed States & Cities. Baltimore & New York City are prime examples. Americans need to wake up to the realization that the Democratic Party of today is not the party of John Firzpatrick Kenneday & it’s so called progressive policies are ruining this Country, i.e. The Roman Empire for it’s immoral culture & incivility. A POX on all of them
And it’s yet another reason Trump needs to get sessions to send in the US Marshalls, to start arresting all these criminal schmucks, who are by their acts, AIDING AND Abetting illegal invaders..
Excellent! Constitution allows it, by omitting anything about it mostly because of the 1875 election was mostly for southern secessionists registering to vote. If illegal aliens seek to vote, allow them to present documents, light bills and other forms of ID. Also have them sign their registrations. This will allow ICE Agents to rapidly locate, and process Dreamers, illegals and other “shadow aliens” being detained, prosecuted and deported in an orderly manner. Least expensive way to “unmask” these “shadow dwellers” without impacting Homeland Security’s Budget. Pray. Amen. God Bless America and ALL Americans. Read A Bible. NKJV Psalm 128.
Subversion of American values and culture in progress. Illegals vote for their issues, not American. Citizenship is conferred on those who come here legally and assimilate. Illegals don’t do either.
If the people of Maryland are that much into these illegals, why don’t they adopt them? They could become legally, morally, and financially responsible for these people and then everyone else would be secure. One other thing, the states that allow illegals to vote in elections should not have their votes counted in national elections because they are perpetrating voter fraud, a felony.
I absolutely agree, Samianne, because practically speaking, once they are REGISTERED, you KNOW they are going to be voting in NATIONAL elections, therefore, the states that perpetrate this FRAUD should NOT have their votes counted.
Prob is they won’t ever be responsible.. THEY will have their hand out to the govt telling them “Give us money”..
Why should immigrants go thru the immigration system when our traitorous politicians make it so easy for them to avoid accountability to the law.
At one time US Citizenship was held in high regard … now it is a liability.
Exactly.
At this rate, there’s gonna be NOTHING special about being a citizen, other than having to PAY TAXES..
I don’t think the states should be allowed to regulate their elections. Interfering affects the entire nation. ALL LAWS FOR ALL PEOPLE.
Please someone tell me when was the law changed that non citizens legal entry or illegal aliens have the right to vote as they are not Citizens of this country. Do other countries who have voting for government allow non citizens to cast their vote? This is not Constitutional– or perhaps we do not any longer have a constitution!!!!
We certainly don’t when it comes to libtards… THEY COntinually do all they can to subvert it..
Do these people understand what ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT means ? ONLY CITIZENS of this Country have the privilege of Voting, NOT Illegal immigrants ! I am SO sick of these “Bleeding Hearts” making ridiculous decisions !
Citizens oly!!!!
Giving illegal aliens the right to vote locally would be OK,
provided they were required to vote in a special “illegal alien” booth
so that votes cast therein could be treated solely as results of a poll intended to capture
the relative preference of illegal residents for certain candidates or issues
of local interest.
No, it wouldn’t, because most all states have only ONE voters’ registration for ALL elections, and you give them a voter’s registration card, and sure as HELL they’ll be voting in national elections. States that encourage this kind of unconstitutional CRAP should have their votes THROWN OUT in all national elections for aiding and abetting VOTER FRAUD.
I agree. THere’s no way to separate out who gets to vote locally from those who get to vote nationally, especially since there’s no bloody requirement to show ID..
ANY State that is this stupid, should automatically LOSE ITS representation in congress, AND ALL ITS electoral votes should be completely NULL AND VOIDED when it comes to electing a president.
It is all about demographics. PG county is predominately black, and is now also home to the largest mosque in the USA. A mosque funded by Turkey, which is a recipient of US foreign aid. The primary industry of PG County is the supply of workers for the US government a bedroom community, College Park, and its feeder communities, has the added advatange of hosting many uber-liberal professors.
As for me, I am soon leaving, probably 30 years too late.
Giving hordes of Muslims the right to vote legally in local and state elections practically GUARANTEES the spread of Islamic culture and sharia law, because, HELLO, they will elect MUSLIMS to public office precisely to facilitate that!
And in that case, if/when Moronland gets a terrorist attack, i will CHEER FOR THEIR Idiocy coming home to roost, rather than sob in sorrow at yet more senseless loss of American lives..
