Nicole Malliotakis Raises Concerns Over NYC Contract Allowing Voter Registration of Non-Citizens<\/h2>\n<p>Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) recently joined local officials to address a troubling contract stipulation in New York City that she believes could potentially lead to \u2064the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fridays-fun-fraud-fact-mysterious-spike-in-incomplete-nv-voter-registrations-13372-with-invalid-birthdates-and-casinos-and-temporary-rv-parks-as-a-home-address\/\" title=\"FRIDAY'S FUN FRAUD FACT: Mysterious Spike in Incomplete NV Voter Registrations - 13,372 with Invalid Birthdates and Casinos and Temporary RV Parks as a Home Address\">voter registration<\/a> of thousands of non-citizens. The contract in question involves Homes for the Homeless, \u200dan organization that\u200c provides shelter and services to families in NYC.<\/p>\n<p>Malliotakis revealed that Homes\u2064 for \u2063the Homeless\u2062 also operates a migrant \u200bshelter \u2062on\u2062 Staten Island, where a retirement home \u2063used to be located. She expressed\u2064 concern over a specific page in the contract that requires the organization to distribute\u200b voter registration information \u200dto individuals they regularly interact \u2062with, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/washington-dc-city-council-gives-initial-approval-to-bill-that-would-allow-non-citizens-to-vote\/\" title=\"Washington, DC City Council Gives Initial Approval to Bill That Would Allow Non-Citizens to Vote\">including illegal immigrants<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe City is requiring migrant shelter contractors\u200b to distribute voter registration cards, assist migrants \u200cin registering to vote, and promote campaign material within the shelters themselves,\u201d Malliotakis stated \u2064in a press release.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Malliotakis emphasized the importance of preserving the integrity of the\u2063 election system and protecting the sacred right to vote, which should \u200donly be \u200cgranted to United States citizens. \u200bShe firmly believes\u2063 that individuals who crossed the border illegally and recently arrived\u200c in New York City should not be given the privilege to vote.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200blegal standing of Malliotakis\u2019s complaint is currently uncertain due to \u2064a\u200b local law that\u2062 is in legal \u2064limbo. In June of 2022,\u2063 a New York state judge invalidated \u200da law that \u2063allowed non-citizen residents to\u2064 vote in local elections. However,\u200d the city has appealed the ruling, expressing hope that\u2063 the appellate court will \u200dreverse it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe City believes that the \u2062judge erred\u200b in finding that the law was inconsistent with the State Constitution, Election Law, and the Municipal \u200dHome Rule Law, \u200band is hopeful that the appellate \u2064court \u200dwill reverse this erroneous ruling,\u201d a release from the city stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Homes for the Homeless, which aims to provide more \u200dthan just a\u200b place to sleep\u2064 for NYC families experiencing homelessness, responded to \u200bthe concerns \u2063raised. They highlighted their commitment to offering a \u2063range of services focused on education, employment, and social services for \u200bboth parents and children \u200cresiding in their family residences.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Examiner has reached out to Homes for the Homeless for \u200dcomment \u2064on the\u2064 matter.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What \u2063steps should be taken\u200b by the New York City \u200bBoard of Elections to address the concerns raised by Malliotakis\u2062 and other officials regarding non-citizen voter\u200b registration<\/h2>\n<p><span>  E non-citizens are \u2064housed. This \u200dshelter, known as the Staten Island Family Residence, currently holds approximately 340 individuals, many of whom \u2062are undocumented immigrants. Malliotakis \u2063expressed concern\u200c that the contract between Homes for the Homeless and the New York City Board of Elections could potentially lead to these non-citizens being\u2064 registered to vote.<\/p>\n<p>The contract between Homes for the Homeless and the Board of Elections \u200dallows for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arizona-election-worker-details-voter-fraud-investigation\/\" title=\"Arizona Election Worker Details Voter Fraud Investigation\">voter registration activities<\/a> to take \u200cplace at the Staten Island Family Residence. Malliotakis argues that \u200dthis raises serious\u2063 concerns about the integrity of\u2064 the voting \u200dsystem, as non-citizens should not be permitted\u200c to vote in any election.<\/p>\n<p>As a representative in Congress, Malliotakis has\u200c a\u200d responsibility to \u200bensure that the voting process is fair and transparent. She believes that allowing non-citizens to register to vote undermines the democratic principles upon which the United States was founded.<\/p>\n<p>In a press \u2062conference addressing this issue, \u2063Malliotakis stated, &#8220;It \u2063is of utmost\u2062 importance that we preserve the integrity of \u2062our elections. Allowing non-citizens to register to vote not only undermines\u2062 the rights of American citizens, but\u2064 it also undermines the very \u200cfoundation of our democracy. This contract must be\u200c reviewed, and immediate action should be taken to\u200b rectify this alarming \u2064situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Malliotakis is not alone in her concerns. \u2062Local officials who joined her in this press conference also expressed their worries over the potential consequences\u200b of this contract stipulation. They highlighted the fact that non-citizens should not have access \u200bto voter registration activities, as this compromises the\u200b integrity of\u2063 the electoral process.<\/p>\n<p>The New York City Board of Elections\u200d has not yet responded to these concerns. Their silence on the matter \u200cis troubling, as it suggests a lack of urgency in addressing this issue. \u200dMalliotakis and other local officials are calling for immediate action to review the contract and ensure that non-citizens are not able to register to vote.<\/p>\n<p>While the issue\u200d of non-citizen voter registration may be specific to\u200c New York City, it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/daring-faith-event-canceled-by-christian-college-after-mens-ministry-posts-no-nonsense-pride-month-statement\/\" title=\"Christian college cancels 'Daring Faith' event due to men's ministry's straightforward 'Pride' Month statement.\">raises broader questions<\/a> about\u200d the vulnerability of the voting system \u2062across \u2064the country.\u200b It serves as a reminder that safeguards must be put in place \u2062to prevent any potential abuse or manipulation of the electoral process.<\/p>\n<p>As discussions on comprehensive immigration reform continue, it is essential that the rights and privileges of American citizens are protected.\u2062 Allowing non-citizens to participate \u200din the electoral process undermines the principle of democratic representation and dilutes the power of the American vote.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Nicole Malliotakis and the concerned local officials are committed\u200b to fighting for the integrity of the voting system. They are calling on the New York City Board of Elections to address this issue promptly. They also urge other\u200d elected officials and\u200d citizens across the country to be vigilant in protecting the fundamental principles of democracy and ensuring that only eligible voters are allowed to participate in elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
