[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can Maryland and Virginia residents also vote in DC elections?[/quote]No.[/quote]
If non-citizens can them why not non-residents?

For example, if you’re a suburban commuter it’s basically the same as being an “undocumented non-resident”. Since they also pay a lot of taxes in DC it seems only fair. [/quote]

Commuters pay a lot of taxes in DC?  Really?  I'll need to see a cite for that.  [/quote]

Ah, so your position is that paying sales tax entitles one to vote in a jurisdiction different in the one in which they live?  Excellent.

I just purchased two roomfulls of furniture in Arlington.  Please tell me where I can pick up m,y voter registration forms.  [/quote]
Sales tax is the most commonly the only tax that poor people pay and it’s a highly regressive tax.  If you think that sales tax is meaningless then you haven’t thought things through very well. Which makes sense because you think people in the country illegally should be allowed to vote. [/quote]
