+1 Too easy to vote twice in this country.

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Main stream media owned by Democrats/Liberals do not publish those articles.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.

You just proved the point (disputed by many on the right) that it happens on both sides.

Those on the left are just not bright...

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.

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

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.

So we need IDs to vote? Do go on

Should a hunting or gun license?

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.

I love how people think there is only ONE poster who thinks these issues are a big deal.

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

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.

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.

You don’t pay taxes there and you’re still supported by bank of Mom & Dad, so no.

Much to the GOP’s chagrin, non-homeowners can vote. Legally. Yes really!

Wait, you think dependents can’t vote?

Not everywhere, no. In fact, most states accept college IDs as valid. And this will blow your mind...several states don't have ID laws at all. In fact, unless you were in only a handful of states, the idea that you needed an ID 30 years ago is highly doubtful.

An 18 yr old who works in the state is paying taxes to that state, even if they are considered a dependent.

My kid works PT, doesn't make a lot, but they still pay taxes.

My 18 y/o high school senior has never held a paying job and voted in the general in November.

I lived in my home state for 2 months in freshman year and then for 1-2 weeks over winter break. Aside, I stayed in the state where my college was located year-round because I got jobs/internships. I was way more invested in the state where my college was located. I had no idea what was happening back home when it came to local elections.

Just saying.

Then change your license.

What's that, you say? You don't have a permanent address in the state in which your college is located?

Oh.

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

It's also too easy to buy guns in this country. Both are codified by the Constitution, from what I've been told.

Many college students do work, at least part time, and thus pay local taxes. Does this mean stay at home parents don't get to vote because they are dependent on their spouse, then?

An off-campus rental is a permanent address.
