Part 5/7:
The conversation took a significant turn as they discussed the New York Court of Appeals' consideration of a proposal that would potentially allow noncitizens to vote. Lawler expressed his disapproval, emphasizing that such a measure should not even be up for discussion. He recounted previous victories where New York Republicans fought against noncitizen voting, indicating concerns over a possible political skewing of the court by Democratic influences under Governor Hochul. Lawler insisted that noncitizens should not have the right to vote in elections and highlighted the potential dangers this could pose to the integrity of the electoral process.
