    If it's okay for non citizens to vote it must be okay for former citizens to vote?
    Just because some one is dead, brain dead, or fictional they must not be denied any 'rights' in the U.S.A.
    The right to vote where ever they choose, the right to free housing, the right to free food, the right to defecate on the sidewalk.

    But poorly.

    I had use of a few of their film cameras years ago, none were great.

    Other than the cheap point and shoot market I never saw Kodak compete well against any other camera company.
    --
    Loved the film though....
    I bought my first digital camera (Pentax) thinking it would make a nice backup to my various film SLR's.
    I was wrong, I never bought film again.
