ALEXANDRIA, VA (March 14, 2024) — CPAC Foundation’s analysis reveals several noteworthy attempts to change election laws in Vermont. In 2023, Democrat legislators amended the town charters of various municipalities to allow illegal immigrants and minors to vote. They also attempted to enact ranked-choice voting in some major areas. Though this type of legislation is not exclusive to Vermont, it is helpful to view these bills as a good sampling of what the most radical Leftists have in store for America’s election system.

“If you thought ballot harvesting was bad, Democrats in Vermont used last session to begin allowing cities to let illegal immigrants and minors vote,” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp. “If that was not offensive enough, Vermont also passed legislation allowing businesses to get sued if they misgender an employee.”
