Laurel Lee: “Elections in the District of Columbia should be an example for the Nation.”

One thing that's important to understand about this bill is that it doesn't limit voting by mail.

Polling by the organization I lead, Americans for Citizen Voting, shows that nine in 10 Americans support the concept of citizen-only voting.

I believe Congress should pass an amendment to the U.S. Constitution specifying that only American citizens may vote in federal elections.

In 15 states where it has appeared on the ballot in recent years, voters have supported measures regarding citizen-only voting by a margin of roughly 3 to 1.
