Wow--German golfer Bernhard Langer tried to vote in Florida!
- Thread starter CowboyUp
- Start date
Amazing story--Langer was waiting in line to vote. He told Trump there were some alien looking types also in line ahead of him, possibly from Mexico, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and Colombia. But election officials ignored the others and instead told Langer he couldn't vote! Langer---a native born German citizen--said since he had played golf here for years and had 2 green jackets he thought he could vote...sure Bernie..
Hopefully they'll DQ him from Ryder Cup and Masters too!!

More to the "story"--
From CBS.com
The witnesses described the story this way: Mr. Langer, a 59-year-old native of Bavaria, Germany -- a winner of the Masters twice and of more than 100 events on major professional golf tours around the world -- was standing in line at a polling place near his home in Florida on Election Day, the president explained, when an official informed Mr. Langer he would not be able to vote.
Ahead of and behind Mr. Langer were voters who did not look as if they should be allowed to vote, Mr. Trump said, according to the staff members -- but they were nonetheless permitted to cast provisional ballots. The president threw out the names of Latin American countries that the voters might have come from.
Mr. Langer, whom he described as a supporter, left feeling frustrated, according to a version of events later contradicted by a White House official. Just one problem: Mr. Langer, who lives in Boca Raton, Fla., is a German citizen with permanent residence status in the United States who is, by law, barred from voting, according to Mr. Langer's daughter Christina.
“He is a citizen of Germany,” she said, when reached on her father’s cellphone. “He is not a friend of President Trump’s, and I don’t know why he would talk about him.”

OSU Ivan, of course it's illegal.
The point of the story though is that Trump relayed this story at a meeting with top House, Senate and Exec Branch officials and it was all BULLSHEET!
Langer NEVER tried to vote, and how could he? Since he's a German Citizen he couldn't register to vote in the US.
And of course, the obvious question: How in the hell could anyone determine the citizenship of someone merely by looking at them?
