[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College students should vote absentee with parents’ address. That’s what my DD does for every election.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

So, we have this cool thing called the internet now.[/quote]

So access to the internet should determine where one votes?[/quote]

I think they are saying that a college student should be staying up to date on what's happening back home because of the internet. The fact is that these students live in the communities where their colleges are located and probably care more about what is happening there than what is happening back at home. Some many be temporary, but there are lots of people who only live in a place for a few years before moving on.

You should be able to vote where you live. To put requirements like owning property, owning a car, etc is akin to an old fashioned poll tax. [/quote]
