Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was hit with backlash after making a seemingly elementary and innocuous remark: "Only Americans should vote in American elections."
The comment was in regard to House Joint Resolution 24, or the “Disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in Approving the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022,” which passed the House of Representatives on Thursday.
The resolution seeks to overturn a bill that passed the D.C. Council in October, which opened the local voting process to non-citizens.
The Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act was passed by the D.C. Council in late 2021. The bill gives non-citizens who live in the district the right to vote for the mayor, city council member, attorney general, school board member, and commissioner.
The law was to be reviewed by Congress and then go into effect in March.
