The Republican National Committee (RNC) has joined the Vermont Republican Party in a lawsuit against Montpelier and Winooski after these locations have amended their charters allowing non-citizens to vote in municipal elections. The new state law had passed in the spring.
The RNC news release called the law a "radical scheme passed by Vermont Democrats, to allow foreign citizens to decide American elections."
That is absolutely and factually correct.
The release labeled the effort "a blatant attack on election integrity and violates the state constitution which requires Vermont voters to be U.S. citizens.”
She said Tuesday in the news release:
McDaniel also said the RNC will remain vigilant to address any state that attempts to allow non-citizens voting rights.

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel provided tough words in response to the new Vermont voting changes and tweeted:
The RNC and the VTGOP are today suing the cities of Montpelier and Winooski, Vermont over their new town charters that allow noncitizens to vote in their municipal elections.

She said Tuesday in the news release:
“Democrats are trying to dismantle the integrity of our elections. In addition to attacking widely supported safeguards like voter ID, Democrats also want foreign citizens to vote in American elections. Republicans are fighting back” –@GOPChairwomanhttps://t.co/enJeLwe3x5“Republicans are fighting back on this far-left assault against election integrity — unlike radical Democrats, we believe that our elections should be decided solely by American citizens,” she added.

McDaniel also said the RNC will remain vigilant to address any state that attempts to allow non-citizens voting rights.
This is clearly an example of dirty politics and should concern all citizens.
The bill that would allow non-citizens to vote passed in the spring but was initially vetoed by Vermont’s Republican Gov. Phil Scott, according to Fox News.
“Allowing a highly variable town-by-town approach to municipal voting creates inconsistency in election policy, as well as separate and unequal classes of residents potentially eligible to vote on local issues,” Scott wrote in a May letter to legislators.
However, the governor’s veto was overridden by the state House and Senate in June, Fox reported.
