Fact check: New York Proposition One does not grant voting rights to illegal immigrants

A Facebook post claims that New York's Proposition One will grant voting rights to illegal immigrants. This claim is false. The text of the proposition does not mention voting rights for non-citizens. The proposition aims to prevent discrimination based on various factors, but it does not address citizenship status. Former New York representative John Faso speculated that the inclusion of "national origin" could lead to arguments for non-citizen voting rights. Currently, federal law prohibits illegal immigrants from voting in federal elections. Any potential local voting rights for non-citizens would be limited to local races.
