In a 2000-yr 1st, Pope Leo requests mail-in ballot for US midterms

Pope Leo XIV has requested a mail-in ballot at his residence in Vatican City ahead of US midterms. Casting a vote would make the Chicago-born pontiff the first sitting Pope in the Catholic Church's around 2,000-year history to participate in a secular election. The 71-year-old is a registered voter in Illinois and has opposed President Donald Trump in the past.
