Democrats are scrambling to deal with the strong possibility that a 19-year-old candidate for a Kansas House seat in Kansas City will unseat a veteran lawmaker despite making incendiary comments on social media and acknowledging abusive behavior online toward girls in middle school.

Aaron Coleman, a dishwasher and community college student, holds a five-vote lead over seven-term state Rep. Stan Frownfelter, a 69-year-old small business owner. Officials in their home of Wyandotte County are scheduled to meet Monday to review provisional ballots and decide whether to count them, potentially altering Coleman's 807-802 lead in voting.

Coleman is running a liberal platform that includes universal health coverage, eliminating college tuition, defunding the police and legalizing marijuana. But he received more attention for a social media post suggesting he would “laugh and giggle” if a former GOP state lawmaker died of COVID-19, another post endorsing abortion up to the moment of birth and a third acknowledging that allegations that he engaged in online bullying, blackmail and revenge porn were true. He apologized for the comments and said his past behavior targeting several middle-school girls was that of "a sick and troubled” 14-year-old.

Another good reason for increasing the age to vote and hold office to age 21, if not older.

Another in an unending line of Demotrash politicians

So much for #metoo (#meTOOL)

[SuperLuminal]

He has a very good future in the communist party (demoncrats)...
Definitely 2024 or 2028 candidate for the U.S. House or Senate to represent the state of Kansas...

I can’t decide which is dumber, Aaron Coleman or the people voting for him.

My vote goes to the people.

"Another good reason for increasing the age to vote and hold office to age 21, if not older."

Plus "property owner" and "male only" requirements need to be reinstated...

[Defiant]

I’m assuming this is a primary. Any chance of a GOP pickup? Or would a 19 year old dishwasher win as long as there’s a D next to his name?

Imo, age of accountability should be the same age across the board for all issues.

That said, also imo, this Coleman dude is a living breathing example of the reality that if the stupid isn’t roflstomped out of the young, those young grow up to be stupid adults.

[frank ballenger]

Oh those young people today. The rascals.

[Steven Scharf]

No, there is no top candidate as this is an unwinnable seat, except it could be winnable if he ends up winning. Why we should place candidates in every race.

[Vitesse]

And actually paid federal income tax in the last 12 months and move tax day to Election Day so it’s fresh in your mind.

[Vitesse]

And you cannot vote in a federal election if you received $1 of federal assistance in the last 12 months.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Officials in their home of Wyandotte County are scheduled to meet Monday to review provisional ballots and decide whether to count them, potentially altering Coleman's 807-802 lead in voting.

So they admit they are going to commit election fraud.

[Vitesse]

Letting everyone vote is pointless unless everyone is responsible, intelligent, informed and productive.

It’s overwhelmingly obvious that most are not.

See. e.g., Seattle, Portland, NYC, etc.

[Vitesse]

Putting the profoundly stupid (DeBlasio, AOC, Harris, NY Gov Cuomo, NJ Gov Murphy, PA Gov Wolf, etc )and senile (Pelosi, Biden, Ginsburg, etc) in positions of power isn’t working out so well
