52 Democrats join GOP as House votes to overturn D.C.’s noncitizen voting law

The House passed a bipartisan bill criticizing the District of Columbia for granting noncitizens, including undocumented immigrants, the right to vote in local elections.

Republicans framed the vote as a defense of citizenship’s value against dilution by temporary visitors and unauthorized migrants.
