You can't make this shit up! I suppose there could be people this stupid anywhere in the U.S., but it's telling this happened in Washington, D.C. Didn't they vote 90% for Clinton? I guess it's possible a clerk could be that stupid, but the supervisor? Gimme a fuckin' break. Okay, I guess not. D.C. is as D.C. does. This isn't helping to turn around my near total belief that we are doomed.

New Mexico 'passport'? Confused marriage license clerk doesn't believe southwestern state is in US

A New Mexico resident didn’t just have to prove his love before getting married – he had to prove New Mexico is actually a state.

When Gavin Clarkson and his future bride applied for a marriage license in Washington, D.C., earlier this month, he was told he needed to provide an international passport to be approved.

“You know you are from flyover country when you are applying for a marriage license, give them your New Mexico driver’s license, and they come back and say ‘my supervisor says we cannot accept international driver’s licenses. Do you have a New Mexico passport?’” Clarkson said in a Nov. 20 Facebook post.

Clarkson, a former deputy assistant secretary in the Interior Department, told the Las Cruces Sun-News the clerk checked with a supervisor several times before the office was able to confirm New Mexico has, in fact, been a state for 106 years.

Clarkson said the whole ordeal took about 20 minutes, and the clerk did apologize. But he said he and his now-wife have laughed about the incident – as did other couples in line.

“The new Mrs. Clarkson thinks that the most hilarious part was when the clerk complimented me on my English,” Clarkson joked in a Facebook post, adding his wife immigrated from Argentina in 1994.

A spokesperson for the District of Columbia Courts said a clerk “made a mistake regarding New Mexico’s 106-year history as a state.”

“We very much regret the error and the slight delay it caused a New Mexico resident in applying for a D.C. marriage license,” Leah Gurowitz, director of media and public relations for D.C. Courts, told the Sun-News.

As far as our right to bear arms goes, it is a foreign country.

A simple google search could have solved this in seconds.  Checking once with her sup is fine, but multiple times?  I do understand that some people do not know all the 50 states.

I wonder how many Russians were allowed to vote because their papers said they're from Georgia?

That sounds like a Cortez statement.

Also "We must stop trade with Romania until we figure out what's going on with their lettuce".

Very patriotic to see some American vendors recognize the correct legal status of Hawaii based on their understanding and loyalty to US Constitutional Law!

Most do and it is.  Guam is more American than
Oahu.

In Russia it is called "Sakartvelo".
It is where all the "White people"
AKA Caucasians come from.

From the comments I see on websites here, it might as well be.

Heard a number of stories of people who don't realize Hawaii is part of the USA.
