I agree with this comment. It specifically says in the Constitution only legalized US citizens can vote and we should uphold the Constitution and the law.

 @B8MTS6MRepublican from Oregon  agreed…7mos7MO

I agree, people moving to a different country should be required to take a citizenship test and basic history of the country before they are allowed to vote on choices that change the country.

 @B8MHNZ9Constitution from Georgia  agreed…7mos7MO

I sort of agree, but I don't think it is about education when I say they need to be a citizen before they can vote. Foreigners need to be a citizen before they vote.

 @B8MMLCNRepublican from New Jersey  agreed…7mos7MO

 @B8MNLF9No Labels from Washington  agreed…7mos7MO

If someone wasn't born in the country why should they be the ones voting to change the political system instead of the people born and raised in the country

 @B8MNG7V from Rhode Island  disagreed…7mos7MO

I think that they should take a citizenship test and be neutralize. however who are we to judge based on intelligence when average American that have the right to vote probably have like or equal intelligence.

 @B8MLTD2 from New Jersey  disagreed…7mos7MO

Many people who are citizens of the U.S. are dumb but still voted and no one cares because they are "American"

 @B8MJBZR from Texas  disagreed…7mos7MO

 @B8LPB86Independent from Illinois  disagreed…7mos7MO

As long as a person has gained citizenship legally they should be able to vote regardless of their level of education.

 @B8MDPW4 from North Carolina  disagreed…7mos7MO

the average person in the world should be expected to be educated, especially foreigners because compared to them, Americans are the stupidest people on earth, and that's no exaggeration either.

A Moment of Darkness': Washington Post's No-Endorsement Decision Ignites Media Firestorm

Even though the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is neck and neck, The Washington Post has decided not to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years, the publisher and CEO announced Friday."We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates," Will Lewis wrote in an opinion piece published on the paper's website. He referenced the paper's policy in the decades prior to 1976, when, following the Watergate scandal that the Post broke, it endorsed Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter. The last time the Post did not endorse a presidential candidate in the general election was 1988, according to a search of its archives.Colleagues learned the news from the editorial page editor, David Shipley, at a tense meeting shortly before Lewis' announcement. The meeting was characterized by someone with direct knowledge of discussions on condition of anonymity to speak about internal matters.Shipley said that he told other editorial board leaders Thursday by management that there would be no endorsement, though he has known for weeks. He added that he "owns" this decision. The reason he cited was to create "independent space" where the newspaper does not tell people for whom to vote.Colleagues were said to be "shocked" and uniformly negative. Post corporate spokespeople have not responded to multiple messages left by NPR on the subject.Former Washington Post Executive Editor Martin Baron, who led the newsroom to acclaim during Trump's presidency, denounced the decision starkly."This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty," Baron said in a statement to NPR. "Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners). History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage."A similar decision by Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong led this week to the resignations of the paper's editorials editor and two editorial board members. Soon-Shiong said that he had asked the editorial board to draft a "factual analysis" of Trump and Harris' policies and plans. In her resignation letter, editorials editor Mariel Garza said the decision made the paper look “craven and hypocritical,” given its past reporting and editorials on Trump.
