The morning after announcing his support of a noncitizen voting bill permitting at least 800,000 work visa and green card holders in New York City the right to vote in municipal elections, Mayor Eric Adams defended his decision Sunday during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union program.
Hizzoner told CNN’s Jake Tapper that he had initial concerns about the bill’s provision which allows any legal noncitizen living in the Five Boroughs for no fewer than 30 days the ability to vote in city elections. However, Adams said his concerns were allayed after speaking with his colleagues in government.
