The suit, filed in Staten Island Supreme Court, asks a judge to issue an injunction that prevents the city Board of Elections and the mayor from “implementing the law in any respect” due to its unconstitutionality. “The law is clear and the ethics are even clearer: we shouldn’t be allowing citizens of other nations to vote in our elections, full stop. We are only two weeks into the Adams Administration and he is already kowtowing to the radical City Council,” New York Republican Party Chairman Nick Langworthy, a plaintiff in the suit, said in a statement. “This lawsuit is the only thing that will stop them from their ultimate goal of eradicating all the lines between citizens and non-citizens,” he said. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), who represents Staten Island and Brooklyn, called the new measure “careless,” claiming it “dilutes” perspectives of US citizens.

New York State Republicans will hold their nominating convention Feb. 28-March 1 at the Garden City Hotel, as party officials seek to capitalize on a string of GOP victories in Nassau County in the 2021 elections. Republicans will choose their candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, state attorney general and U.S. Senate at the two-day event. State Republican chairman Nick Langworthy cited the party's victories in Nassau on Nov. 2 in announcing Nassau as the convention site. "There is no better place to host our convention than Nassau County," Langworthy said in a statement.

The lawsuit, which was obtained by Newsweek, stated that "This law creates a new class of persons called 'municipal voters' who are noncitizens who are either lawful permanent residents or persons authorized to work in the United States, who except for their lack of United States citizenship would be qualified to register to vote."

They’re The Anti-Squad. The City Council’s five Republicans — the largest GOP conference in decades — vowed to be a vanguard against soft-on-crime progressives who mirror the politics of left-wingers like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and her “Squad” in Congress. “There are now five Republicans in the council who are going to be the voice countering the progressive wing of the Democratic Party,” said Inna Vernikov, a Trump die-hard and newly elected lawmaker from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. “We have an obligation to speak up for the 565,000 registered Republicans in this city. If they were an ethnic or religious group they would be one of the largest in New York. They deserve to have representation in City Hall as well,” Staten Island Councilman Joe Borelli — the new minority leader — told The Post.
