House votes to block noncitizen voting in D.C. elections — again

For the second time in as many years, the U.S. House voted on a bipartisan basis to block D.C. from allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections in the nation’s capital — yet another instance of Congress’s most aggressive intervention in D.C. affairs in decades. Fifty-two Democrats joined Republicans in the vote — an uptick from the 42 who voted to strike down the D.C. law last year — and the bill passed by a vote of 262 to 143, just days before D.C.’s June 4 primary election.
