The GOP-led House passed a bill with bipartisan support on Thursday to prevent noncitizens from voting in Washington, D.C., local elections as part of a push for election integrity. Fifty-two Democrats joined with 210 Republicans voting in favor of the legislation, while 143 Democrats and no GOP lawmakers opposed it. Twenty-five members, including seven Republicans and 18 Democrats, did not vote. The bill, H.R. 192, specifically bars noncitizens from voting in “an election for public office in the District of Columbia or in any ballot initiative or referendum in the District of Columbia.” It also repeals the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, a D.C. measure that allowed noncitizen residents of the nation’s capital to vote in local but not federal elections. Noncitizens are not allowed to vote in federal elections. “In Washington, DC, noncitizens including illegal aliens and foreign agents are allowed to vote in local elections,” Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), who introduced H.R. 192, said in a post to X. “Noncitizen voting dilutes the voting power of the citizen voter.” His Democrat colleague Eleanor Holmes Norton, who is D.C.’s nonvoting delegate in the House, argued in a statement that D.C. residents should be able to govern their own local affairs without intervention by members of Congress. “D.C. laws are matters for the duly elected D.C. Council and mayor, not unaccountable members of Congress who do not represent D.C. residents,” Norton said. “The almost 700,000 D.C. residents are worthy and capable of governing their own local affairs.” House Republicans are pressing forward with election integrity bills with an eye toward the illegal immigration crisis, including legislation dubbed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act that would require proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration.

We’ve got to do that; we have an absolute responsibility,” Johnson said. The legislative push is unlikely to gain much headway outside the House given that the Senate and the White House are controlled by Democrats, but it still gives GOP lawmakers room to argue they are working to make voting more secure in a presidential election year.

News This Blue Is Mine Dennis Quaid Joins Psychosexual Sci-Fi Film This Blue Is Mine Somehow, this film lives up to its logline. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on May 23, 2024 Screenshot: 20th Century Studios Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: 20th Century Studios This Blue Is Mine, the English-language debut film from Brazilian-born director Iuli Gerbase, is expanding its cast. We already knew that Zazie Beetz (Deadpool 2) and Elizabeth Debicki (Widows) were in the feature, and Variety broke the news today that Dennis Quaid (pictured above in 2004’s The Day After Tomorrow; other credits include Strange World and Wyatt Earp) will also be on the call sheet once the movie begins shooting. Quaid will be playing Arthur, a “guilt-free bon viveur” who introduces his two adult daughters to his is decades-younger girlfriend, Ivy (Debicki), while they’re all vacationing on a lush, tropical resort. His two daughters—Connie (Beetz) and her older half-sister Laura (casting still to be announced)—are thrown off by Ivy, at least in part because she does some odd things. She’s so odd, in fact, that she tells Connie one night that she’s actually an extraterrestrial. Laura writes her off as a wannabe trophy wife but Connie is intrigued and becomes seduced by Ivy, who invites her to come back to her home planet. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I heard the phrase “psychosexual sci-fi film” (say that three times fast!), but this description seems to fit the bill. This Blue Is Mine is set to start production this fall. No news yet on when it will make its way to a screen near you.
