Biden Judge Claims Congress Can’t Stop Noncitizens from Voting
A Biden-appointed federal judge in Miami claims a federal ban on noncitizens voting is unconstitutional and has dismissed a case against a migrant who voted in 2020.
U.S. District Judge David Leibowitz, appointed to the bench by Joe Biden in 2024, threw out a case against Chelsea Michelle Ann Cox, who knowingly voted despite being a noncitizen in Broward County in 2020.
In his 31-page opinion, Leibowitz claimed that the U.S. Congress overstepped its role by passing a law prohibiting noncitizens from voting because in his view the Constitution maintains that the states are to determine voter eligibility.
Leibowitz claims that the law is a violation of Article I, Article II, and the 17th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Should Leibowitz’ ruling stick, the Cox case could have far-reaching consequences for future illegal voting cases.
