New York City May Let Non-Citizens Vote
It would be the first major U.S. city to do so.
The New York City voting rolls may be about to undergo their largest expansion since women's suffrage.
The City Council will begin a hearing today on a bill to give non-citizen residents the right to vote in city elections. With 34 of the body's 51 members sponsoring the legislation, it looks like it will have enough votes to pass despite Mayor Bloomberg's opposition.
