 Hi, I'm Chris Erickson, I'm going to read off the side of my computer screen. Some people, Republicans in the state of Vermont are suing the city of Winooski and the cleric of Winooski for allowing non-citizen voting, and they're totally against the non-citizen voting. And I'm going to read you some from the court document. I have to make a split computer screen. Just a second here. Let's see what we can do. Oh, there it is. Let's see if we can do this so I can make it a little bigger. All right, Winooski's charter is changed to allow non-citizen voting. In 2020, Winooski placed a proposed amendment on the ballot to allow non-citizens to vote in local elections. The city council approved the ballot measure, despite the city manager's warning that all resident voting, in other words non-citizen voting, has had limited testing in the court system and that affected citizens could take legal action against the city on constitutional grounds. Voters set aside these constitutional concerns and approved the proposed amendment on November 4th, 2020. On May 21, 2021, the General Assembly voted to approve the changes and to amend Winooski City Charter to authorize non-citizens to vote in any city meeting or municipal election. The General Assembly's authorization of the changes was vetoed by the governor on June 1, 2021, but the General Assembly overrode the veto on June 24, 2021. That's the problem. Why would people in other parts of Vermont care if non-citizens are voting in Winooski and Montpelier, Vermont? Most people don't know that federal election campaign laws also include some laws governing state and local elections. It is not legal for a foreign national, directly or indirectly, to make a contribution to a federal, state or local election. Now a vote is a contribution because you cannot pay someone to vote. It is not legal to pay someone to vote one way or another. So a vote is a contribution and it is not legal under federal law for a foreign national to make any contribution in a federal, state or local election, either directly or indirectly.
