DC targeted with harassing messages for allowing non-citizens to vote in primary

The city allows non-citizens to vote only in local elections, but Republicans have made it a central issue to stoke distrust in results

In a message left for the Washington DC board of elections on 1 May, a caller expressed anger at the city for allowing non-US citizens to vote in local elections.

Where the hell do you get off letting illegals vote?" the caller, who does not leave their name, said in a voicemail that the board of elections executive director, Monica Evans, played for the Guardian. This is the nation's capital. You are traitors. Traitors to your own country."
