Noncitizen voters spoke to the Washington Post after the last election, including a woman named Ana Lemus who came to the U.S. more than a decade ago from El Salvador.
Her daughter, who was 4 years old at the time, said she is voting to help address "wealth inequality and police brutality" among other concerns.
In the House, Rep. August Pflueger, R-Texas, is championing companion legislation. While Britt’s bill so far only has Republican co-sponsors, Pflueger’s effort has garnered about 50 Democratic supporters.
In addition to Washington, select communities in Maryland, New York and Vermont – plus California in certain school board races – allow illegal immigrant voting.
The first city to allow it was Takoma Park, Maryland, back in 1992.
Current Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., helped spearhead that "Share The Vote" effort in the community, which abuts the nation’s capital to its northeast.
