+1. And also states with permitless carry for children of any gender.

In light of this and increased restrictions on abortions, should out of state parents and students opt out of colleges in such states?


Oh, it’s you again. Yawn.

Yep. Makes perfect sense. But I just love the moronic concern trolls, always trying to fear-monger.

I lived in my college town 11 months out of the year. I was a resident, obviously.


Really? You were paying taxes there? Registering your car there? Please.

+1 Too easy to vote twice in this country.


Yep, the GOP is showing us all just how easy indeed.


I thought it was the Dems...

Sounds like a solution in search of a problem. Typical of Republican efforts at disenfranchisement, which are all attributed to phantom menaces like fraud and dead people voting.


Ah yes, typical Democratic response - requiring state issued ID is equal to “voter disenfranchisement,” in their twisted, perpetually victimized worldview.

As I read the OP, they are just saying you can't use your college id as proof of residence. So if the student wants to vote in the new state, they go get a state id in the new state. If they want to keep their license from their previous state, they vote absentee in the previous state. This is all entirely reasonable and the way it was when I was doing this 30 years ago. I've never heard of a college id as being valid for something like voting. Perhaps I misunderstood something, but as stated in OP this is not an issue. No one seems to be saying they can't vote in new city - just that they need legal id to do so.

For 4 years, obviously. I would not want you impacting my town.



No military families, celebrities, travel nurses voting, then.

No car. I was working in the town year-round.

No, it's not and few people do it. The most recent examples have trended that these are GOP voters.


Actually, both sides do it.


Please provide receipts for this statement, because there were dozens of articles from PA, FL and NC about GOP voters doing it. Where are the Dem voters doing it?


Main stream media owned by Democrats/Liberals do not publish those articles. They would rather cover them up and pretend that there is nothing to see folks... just regurgitate what we do allow to be published...


+1
Here are a few examples - though no doubt the usual LWNJs will move the goalposts for one reason or another.

Were you or were you not a legal, tax-paying resident of that town, or a dependent of your parents? I think we all know the answer.

It really seems like the only question is which state issued one's legal id (drivers license or id card). Of course a college id shouldn't be sufficient to vote.

Truth hurts.

Many people don't want to be in red states because the current Republican party is batsh0t crazy.

If I have a lease, pay utilities, and live in a city most of the year then I'm a resident and have the right vote there.

Projecting again?

Requiring driver's licenses certainly disenfranchises certain populations. Likely the ones you don't want voting.
