“You must be a legal resident of Iowa and the precinct you live in and bring a photo ID with you to participate,” the state Republican party said on Friday in a post on the social media platform X.

The party is scheduled to hold local gatherings, known as the Iowa Caucus, on Jan. 15 in which participants will vote for their choice for the Republican candidate to run in November’s presidential election. U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to be the Democratic Party’s nominee.

The state Republican Party posted its reminder after Casey DeSantis, appearing on Fox News with her husband, the governor of Florida, called on women from across the country to join the gatherings, saying, “You do not have to be a resident of Iowa to participate."

    Behind every dumb cardboard cutout of an alt right candidate is a suffering wife who has no idea what’s going on and just wants to order Thigh food.

    Republicans: “We’re attacked with illegal votes!”

    De Santis wife: “Non-residents, vote for us.”

    Took me, a non-US citizen, a while to get the joke.

      Sort of, poster left out the key quote that triggered the post from the Republican party:

      “We are asking all of these moms and grandmoms to come from wherever it might be, North Carolina, South Carolina, and to descend upon the state of Iowa,” said Casey DeSantis, who has been promoting a “Mamas for DeSantis” coalition as she campaigns for her husband.

      So non-resident in this context would be out of state.

    It had its own penalty. Iowans don’t like non Iowans participating in their caucus. He will definitely lose votes.

    I’m usually not one to mock someone for their appearance, but people who bed with fascists get little sympathy from me.

    Holy shit that makeup looks terrible.

      (Most) People don’t choose their faces, but do choose their makeup. I think you’re ok on this one.

      The first thing I did when I saw the thumbnail was google pictures of her to see if her makeup is always that bad. Turns out, it’s almost never good, but this is a particularly bad look. Whoever does her makeup (maybe her) is doing so many things that make her look like a cartoon witch, which is kind of hilarious tbh, since she sucks.

      Maybe it’s because my phone is on the lowest brightness setting, but it looks much better to me than I was expecting after your comment.

      Looked again with regular brightness, and aside from her being a little older, her makeup looks fine. Her nose looks a little weird, like it was redone surgically. But better than the airhead tan blonde fake-lipped bimbos you usually associate with republicans.

      I feel like makeup is fair game because you did it to yourself. I make fun of my brother’s shitty tattoo because he chose poorly.
