洛杉矶市长候选人周三晚间爆发争执，一场关于非公民是否应被允许在地方选举中投票的简单是或否问题暴露了双方的巨大分歧。
在由NBC4和Telemundo主办的辩论中，主持人恩里克·基亚布拉要求候选人给出明确的是或否答案。民主党籍市长凯伦·巴斯拒绝直接回应，而共和党挑战者斯宾塞·普拉特则直截了当地回答：“不。”
巴斯反而表示：“要看情况，”并补充道，“这不是一个能用是或否回答的问题。”
此次争执发生之际，洛杉矶市议会一名议员重新掀起了关于该议题的辩论，并正推动将该问题提交选民在11月的选票中表决。

尽管联邦法律禁止非公民在联邦选举中投票，但美国一些城市——包括加利福尼亚州的几个城市——允许非公民在地方选举中进行有限形式的投票。
在解释自己的答案时，巴斯表示“非公民”一词可以包括合法居民。
“首先，当你提到非公民时，这并不意味着他们是非法居留者，也不意味着他们是无证移民。他们可以持有绿卡，完全合法地居住在这里，”巴斯说，“美国有很多州和城市在非常地方性的选举中允许这样做。我们必须看看市议会成员提出的是什么提案。”

市议员妮提亚·拉曼同样也是民主党候选人，也回避了直接回答。
“我再说一次，这要看情况，”拉曼说道，并指出在一些地区，非公民居民可以在某些地方选举中投票，比如学校董事会选举。
第一个回应的普拉特重申了自己的立场，只用了一个词回答：“不。”
巴斯和普拉特是13名市长候选人中的两位，普拉特被视为现任市长的主要挑战者之一。

Los Angeles mayoral candidates clashed Wednesday night when a simple yes-or-no question on whether noncitizens should be allowed to vote in local elections exposed a sharp divide.
During a debate hosted by NBC4 and Telemundo, moderator Enrique Chiabra pressed candidates for a yes-or-no answer. Democrat Mayor Karen Bass declined to do so, while Republican challenger Spencer Pratt responded flatly, “No.”
Bass instead said, “It depends,” adding, “It’s not a yes or no.”
The exchange comes as a Los Angeles city councilmember has renewed debate on the issue and is pushing to put the question before voters on the November ballot.

While federal law bars noncitizens from voting in federal elections, some U.S. cities — including a few in California — allow limited forms of noncitizen voting in local races.
When explaining her answer, Bass said the term “noncitizens” can include legal residents.
“Well, first of all, when you say noncitizens, it doesn’t mean they’re here illegally. It doesn’t mean they’re undocumented. They can have green cards. They could be here perfectly legal,” Bass said. “And there’s a lot of states and cities that do that on very, very local elections. We have to see what the councilman is proposing.”

Councilwoman Nithya Raman, also a Democratic candidate, similarly avoided a direct answer.
“I would say again, it does depend,” Raman said, noting that in some places, noncitizen residents can vote in certain local elections, such as school board races.
Pratt, who was first to respond, reiterated his position with a one-word answer: “No.”
Bass and Pratt are among 13 candidates running for mayor, with Pratt viewed as one of the leading challengers to the incumbent.
