It\u2019s being considered locally in cities such as Boston, New York City, Portland, Maine, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>States that give driver\u2019s licenses to noncitizens face additional complications since those licenses might be used for voter registration if not carefully screened. It\u2019s not unprecedented. Last year, after countless assurances from California officials that noncitizens receiving driver\u2019s licenses could not register to vote, the state\u2019s Department of Motor Vehicles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/articles\/2019\/06\/20\/calif_begins_removing_5_million_inactive_voters_on_its_rolls__140602.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">acknowledged<\/a> that at least 1,500 ineligible persons \u2014 many of them noncitizens \u2014 were on the voting rolls.

A new group, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/Americans4CitizenVoting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Americans for Citizen Voting<\/a>, will take this important issue to the public, promoting citizen-only voting measures in as many states as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Having just observed the anniversary of the 9\/11 terrorist attacks, we must be mindful of our freedoms and rights \u2014 including the right to vote \u2014 that have been secured with the blood and sacrifices of service members and civil rights activists. We should not treat their sacrifices so carelessly by handing over voting privileges to noncitizens.<\/p>\n<p>Many recent elections nationwide were exceedingly close. Races involving millions of votes were decided by just a few thousand or even a few hundred ballots. By giving ballots to noncitizens, Americans lose the ability to determine the people and policies that will govern them, unknowingly handing over to others their right to self-determination.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalcenter.org\/project21\/staff\/christopher-arps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christopher Arps<\/a> is a member of the Project 21 black leadership network and president of Americans for Citizens Voting.
