According to my figures, if Mr. Kuhl is 63, he was born in 1943. He became 18 in 1961. The 26th amendment, which changed the voting age from 21 to 18, was ratified in 1971. How could he have been voting in this district since he was 18? Did he vote illegally? Who does he think he is fooling?
He is also running for Congress from NY-29th district, not the 26th.
I agree with Rich that the Hornell paper needs better fact-checking on its puff pieces.
Reader Jim writes to remind those in the Rochester area that the last debate in the 29th will be telecast tonight on RNews at 7 p.m. I don't have cable, so I won't be able to watch it unless it is streamed over the Internet. But I trust other Rochester-area bloggers will be watching and reporting.
