At a time when 19 states have made it more difficult to vote, San Jose could join San Francisco and New York City in allowing non-citizens to vote in some local elections.
Rachel Scott reports from Washington, D.C., on the Democrats' failed attempt to pass sweeping voting reform.
"The real questions are, 'Who's a legitimate member of the community?' and 'Who's a stakeholder?'" said Hayduk. Hayduk notes as many as 45 countries allow immigrants to vote at the local, regional and even national level. According to the U.S. Census data, 40% of residents in San Jose, the nation's tenth largest city, were born outside of the country. Many have become naturalized citizens, but a significant number have not."We have to give people an opportunity to voice their opinion and their will, and especially how we're going to manage their money," said Councilmember Carrasco.
