Sorry yes, in my defence I was 40.1 degrees fever at the time so sentence structure didn't seem important either.

About 20 years ago when it first came about this was also a question and Valve said they would "find a way" to unlock games for everyone. Now back then, that was when they only had Valve games on Steam, and a weird ninja game that I bought but never played, setting a president for all time...

Did you read the article? The change being made is that the voter eligibility list hasn't been updated in 25 years. Yes that means recent "immigrants" from France (New Caledonia is France, at least for now) can't vote.

It also means people under 40 can't vote...
