Strict Naturalization Laws Delay Hearings Before Election
New naturalization rules bar hearings within thirty days of a general election. A hearing between October third and November third is illegal and must be postponed until after the fall election. Aliens lacking citizenship petitions cannot vote this election, as petitions must be filed ninety days prior to the hearing, a window not available.
