Arrr, matey! This week, New York's finest judges be weighin' a law lettin' landlubbers—aye, noncitizens—cast their votes. On Tuesday, savvy lawyers for the Democrats be arguein’ their case. If they win, over 800,000 scallywags in the Big Apple might be choosin' their captain!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round as I regale ye with the latest tale from the bustling port of New York City, where the finest court in the land be settin' sail to ponder a matter most peculiar. Aye, they be considerin’ a law that allows landlubbers, who ain’t citizens, to register and cast their votes in the city's grand elections!This week, on the morrow, the court be listenin’ to the sharp-tongued lawyers of the Democrats, who be arguin’ in favor of this bold legislation. If the winds favor 'em and they find fair winds and following seas, over 800,000 noncitizens dwellin' in this here metropolis would have the chance to throw their hats in the ring, or rather, their ballots into the box, for city contests like the mayoral races!
Now, the swashbucklers supportin' this bill be claimin' that these noncitizens be as much a part of the crew as any salty sailor, havin' a say in the matters of the ship they call home. So, as the court brews its judgment, raise a tankard of grog and ponder—should all hands, even those not born of the soil, have a voice in this grand adventure called democracy? Arrr!
