Top Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate have introduced a joint resolution to prevent a law that allows non-citizens the right to vote in the District of Columbia’s local elections, from going into effect.

Chairman of the House Oversight Committee James Comer (R-Ky.) introduced H. J. Res. 17 to challenge the D.C. Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act and prevent its implementation.
