Several states just made it extra-clear that non-US residents wont get to vote anywhere in their borders. On tuesday night voters backed these new rules by a lot (which shows how much people care about this topic)
The push came from Donald Trump supporters and other right-wing groups who keep saying - without any real proof - that lots of non-citizens are voting in big elections. These new laws dont really change much for state-wide or national voting since non-citizens already cant do that; but they do stop cities and towns from letting non-citizens have a say in small stuff like school boards
Right now about 19 places across the US including Washington DC let non-citizens vote on local issues: but these new state-wide rules will make that kind of thing impossible in the future. The whole thing is part of a bigger back-and-forth about who should get to vote on what kind of decisions
The eight states that passed these rules did it with big numbers - showing most voters dont want any grey areas when it comes to voting rights. Its worth noting that the new laws are extra strict about blocking any future attempts to let non-citizens participate in any kind of election‚ no matter how small or local
