Judge Strikes Down Law Granting Noncitizens the Right to Vote in New York City Elections
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York, a state Supreme Court judge in Staten Island has
struck down a law that would have allowed some 800,000 noncitizens to
vote in local elections in New York City. The measure was set to go into
effect in January. Judge Ralph Porzio argued the law violated state
constitutional guidelines.
