ROCKVILLE, MD MAY GIVE VOTE TO IMMIGRANTS Rockville, Maryland is considering letting non-citizens vote in elections, the Washington Post reports. "Officials have asked a commission reviewing the city charter to explore whether Rockville, like five Maryland municipalities and a handful of other communities nationally, should permit legal immigrants who are not citizens to cast ballots in municipal elections." However, critics point to problems with the measure. "I think it cheapens the value of the right to vote . . . The right to vote is so important. It's so precious and should be treasured and not given away easily," City Councilwoman Susan R. Hoffmann said. The city's charter commission will hold a public hearing tomorrow at 7:30 pm to consider the change. |
