Noncitizens in Santa Ana Are Organizing for the Right to Vote in Local Elections
Briefly

"On election day, Santa Ana, a city in the greater Los Angeles region, will be voting on whether its 24 percent residents who aren't citizens can vote in local elections."
"To convince voters, a coalition led by Asian and Latino residents have been arguing that 'parents and taxpayers' should have voting rights."
"According to San Francisco State University professor Ron Hayduk, between 1776 and 1926, immigrants in 40 states voted in local, state or national elections at some point in time."
"Hayduk argued in a 2023 report that today's noncitizen voting movement is not part of a settler project but an effort to recognize immigrants as legitimate stakeholders."
