Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.

Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.

If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.

Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.

For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.

Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

It's difficult to understand how a permanent resident would think he's a citizen and therefore eligible to vote.

I'm also questioning why the state of Kansas didn't verify his voter registration in any way.

Right? What happened in his civics/U.S. government classes, he just thought the voting rules didn't apply to him? All the other people who moved to the States from Mexico by the time they were four, yes, just not him.

Some states allow non citizens to vote in non federal elections. I don't know the rules for Kentucky.

Apparently neither does he.

Probably. To be honest, I couldn't tell you anything about either place. Except Dorothy doesn't make fried chicken as good as the dead white guy in the racism suit.

Kentuckian here, we're known for horse racing, bourbon, coal mining, and cave tourism. And also being ruthlessly exploited by the aforementioned industries for as long as the state has existed (and possibly even before then).
