Frost is eligible to be Missouri Elector says Enquirer
The Cincinnati Enquirer and Globe Democrat dispute Frost's ineligibility noting he holds a presidential pardon from October 1865 and therefore cannot be barred under the 14th Amendment. They argue that Frost remains fully restored to citizenship and entitled to electors' honors, countering claims of disqualification and praising presidential interference.
