I have discovered the circumstances of this person's loss. She says
she married and moved back to Canada at age 19. When crossing the
border to visit family in Washington state she would always tell the
U.S. guards that she was a dual citizen. She was told by one guard
that she'd have to make a decision on citizenship by age 21. He told
her that if she voted in Canada, that would be it. She did vote and
informed an official at the border of that fact when she and her
husband moved back to the U.S. a couple years later. He asked her to
sign a form stating that she had voted in another country's election
of her own free will. The U.S. government then sent her a loss of
nationality document. Having been told by the U.S. government that
she is not a citizen, she doesn't think she is.
