A San Francisco law allowing non-citizens to vote in school district elections, has been deemed illegal.
A lawsuit was filed last March against San Francisco to prohibit the counting of votes of persons who are not U-S citizens. The suit contents that the ordinance is illegal and contrary to California’s constitution which establishes U-S Citizenship as a qualification for voting in the state. A hearing was held Thursday and the judge was believed to be leaning in favor of the plaintiffs citing the citizenship clause in the state constitution.
The following is from a press release from James Lacy, attorney.
In a lawsuit filed by James V. Lacy and associated conservative organizations against San Francisco to prohibit the counting of votes of persons who are not United States citizens, Superior Court Judge Richard B. Ulmer, Jr., has found in Lacy's favor and declared that the noncitizen voting ordinance "is contrary to the California Constitution and state statutes and cannot stand." A permanent injunction has been issued to stop San Francisco from processing noncitizen voting and the Court has invited Lacy and the plaintiffs to file a motion to claim attorneys fees against the City for the action.
Lacy said "this is an important case that reaffirms the core Constitutional notion that voting is a privilege of citizenship and that right cannot be diluted by allowing for noncitizen voting. Today, the Court rendered a verdict in favor of election integrity in California." James Lacy hosts “Live in Taxifornia” with Don Romano Sunday afternoons at 4 on 790 KABC
