Larsen Rose did the research so I will yield to him. I do recall one story that Kentucky voted to reject the amendment, but like a Dominion machine, Secretary Knox changed their certification to approval. Apparently this happened with other states.
Right, but unless this happened in like at least 7 states, it still has enough ratification to pass. I just have a really hard time believing that a freaking amendment was passed because a guy said "yup, everything looks good", and not states tried to sue or point out that they, in fact, had not ratified it.
The records of that vote for all 48 states is online in their archives. I am planning a project to look up all 48 this weekend.
It was Bill Benson in The Law That Never Was who asserted that every state that allegedly ratified the 16th had one of ten irregularities in the process. This list can be found online and is pretty significant. However, the Supremes have stated that all these irregularities are immaterial due to intent, and that's made Benson's argument a dead letter. Those seeking remedy must first research why their earnings are not income and then correct the record.
