    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).
