New York City’s Democrats quietly pushed through a scheme to let foreign nationals vote in municipal elections, and the fallout is exactly what patriotic Americans warned it would be: the very groups liberals claim to protect are being left behind. Four Black New Yorkers have now sued, arguing the law was passed with discriminatory intent and that it will dilute the political power of Black citizens.
The lawsuit, brought by plaintiffs including Phyllis Coachman and Deroy Murdock and filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation, charges the City Council and Board of Elections with violating the 15th Amendment and the Voting Rights Act. This isn’t abstract legalism; it’s a concrete accusation that the policy was crafted to shift influence away from Black voters.
Don’t let the cheerleaders on the left gaslight you with their “diversity” talking points — the numbers tell the truth. City data show roughly a million foreign nationals live in New York City, with the largest groups being Hispanic and Asian, and that demographic reality is precisely why Black voters stand to lose influence under this law. Liberal math tries to dress this up as inclusion, but the arithmetic is simple and stark.
This is the same pattern we keep seeing: Democrats reshuffle the electorate to secure power while pretending it’s about fairness. Council members publicly acknowledged how the bill would change racial power dynamics, yet the measure moved forward anyway — proof that for modern progressives, ends justify the means. Conservatives aren’t asking for exclusion; we’re demanding honesty and fidelity to the Constitution.
And let’s not be naive about margins. Citywide and local races are often decided by tiny vote gaps; handing the franchise to hundreds of thousands of noncitizens who can be mobilized by elites is not theoretical — it is electoral engineering. When your electoral system can be altered by a council vote to advantage one group over another, you’ve crossed from democracy into manipulation.
Patriots and principled conservatives should welcome lawful immigration and the contributions of newcomers, but we must oppose any policy that treats citizenship as optional and the ballot as a tool for parties to stack. Real justice is protecting the franchise of American citizens — especially those in vulnerable communities — not inventing clever ways to dilute it under the banner of “progress.”
If the left wants to talk math, bring it on: hardworking Americans know the difference between genuine inclusion and cynical arithmetic that trades one minority’s voice for another’s votes. This lawsuit is a wake-up call; every freedom-loving citizen should join the fight to keep our elections honest and our Constitution real.
