Title 18 actually carves out a legal exception for them to vote - all
they need do is state they believe they have the right vote.

You know this, don't be deceitful.

States with no impediments to noncitizen voting in local elections
Joshua A. Douglas, associate professor of law at the University of
Kentucky College of Law, published an article in 2017 stating,
"Municipalities can expand voting rights in local elections if there are
no explicit state constitutional or legislative impediments and so long
as local jurisdictions have the power of home rule." Some states, for
example, require that changes to local charters get approval from state
legislatures, thereby limiting municipal authority over voter
eligibility laws, whereas other states do not.[34]

Douglas identified 14 states—including California and Maryland—as posing
no clear impediments to municipalities passing their own voter
qualification laws. Since publication of the 2017 article, two states
which Douglas identified as having no clear impediments to noncitizen
voting have passed constitutional amendments clarifying that only U.S.
citizens may vote in elections in those states. The remaining 12 states
identified by Douglas are:

Arkansas
California
Illinois
Maryland
Nevada
New Jersey
New Mexico
Oklahoma
Rhode Island
South Dakota
Washington
Wisconsin[35]

These morons should try to stick to being relected instead of churning the
old Trump lies and debunked tall tales about Trump's stolen election.

The stupid bastards are on the ropes and sinking fast, so they keep doing the
same thing to drown.

Gotta cover all those costs from Walz sitting on his ass and letting the black savages destroy the municipal tax base.

Democrats are ignorant. They will vote blue in spite of being forced out of their homes because of it.

Both mayors have proposed roughly 8% property tax increases in 2025, pending council approval.

MINNEAPOLIS — If you live in Minneapolis or St. Paul, surely you've heard: Your property taxes might be increasing next year.

As part of their 2025 budget proposals, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter have both respectively pitched increasing the property tax levy by roughly 8 percent. To be exact, the proposed number in Minneapolis is 8.1 percent, while the figure in St. Paul is slightly lower at 7.9 percent.

If approved by the city council, that would mean an extra $207 for the median homeowner in Minneapolis next year and another $132 for the median homeowner in St. Paul.

Both Carter and Frey have acknowledged they face difficult choices in the 2025 budget process.

Frey, in particular, singled out a number of factors driving up costs for the city, including inflation, plummeting downtown property values, labor costs and less federal COVID aid.

However, these trends are not isolated to the Twin Cities. According to Minnesota Department of Revenue data, local governments increased their property tax revenues by nearly 7 percent last year, in line with national trends.

Tony Huettl, who lives in Northfield, said he has noticed a steady increase in property taxes in his city the past five years or so. (State data shows a nearly 9 percent increase in Northfield's property tax levy from 2023 to 2024).

"Nobody likes that, but everybody likes the nice things that the money is being spent on," Huettl said. "So, it's a hard call."

Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, 27-year-old Katie Roh said the prospect of rising property taxes will further prevent her from buying a home, given that overall prices and mortgage rates are already high.

"It's already insane," Roh said. "Everything they do just makes it more and more unrealistic to be able to buy a house in the future. It's kind of disappointing."
