Eugenie Bouchard challenges viral proposal on voting rights in US as a Miami Beach resident

Eugenie Bouchard weighed in on a viral proposal about "how to fix America," which suggested restricting voting rights. The Canadian tennis and pickleball star questioned whether Green Card holders, who pay taxes in the USA, should have a say in where their money goes.

A viral suggestion posted on X by Matt Walsh has received over 5.5 million views. The proposal suggested restricting voting rights to only fluent English speakers, US citizens, those who pass a civics test, and individuals not receiving welfare.

Bouchard, who is a resident of Miami Beach responded to the suggestion by writing:

"What if you are not a citizen but pay taxes in the US (ie Green Card holder)? Shouldn’t you get a say as to where your money goes?"

As of now, Green Card holders cannot vote in the USA. Walsh later explained that he was talking about stripping the voting rights of people who hold dual citizenship.

As for Eugenie Bouchard, it is unknown if she is a Green Card holder or a dual citizen. However, she does reside in Miami Beach and recently shared about her outings near home. She enjoyed scrumptious food and donned beachwear for her beach outing.

Bouchard's sporting career has taken a turn in the past few years as she is cutting down on her tennis time to make space for pickleball. Her last official match on the WTA Tour came at the Canadian Open in August of 2024.
