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. 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.

This doesn’t say if he’s actually allowed to be mayor or not. I would think if you can’t vote you can’t be mayor? I guess they let dogs do it sometimes though so, I don’t know.
I would assume it goes by the town/city charter.
You're correct. In the linked Wichita Eagle article it says
BTW there's a lot to shake your head at in that article. The stupidity and lack of education of not just this guy but apparently the whole town. They didn't know he wasn't allowed to vote. He wasn't sure who he voted for, he just always voted for the (R). Plus the whole town loves this guy so they're all mad at Kobach. That county went 80% for trump but they're all upset that they're having the day they voted for.
