[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So you can use a handgun license, but you can’t use a student ID, and honestly most of the other supporting documents aren’t likely to be something a college student has, either. The GOP’s whole raison d’etre is to keep the wrong people from voting.[/quote]

Go look at what the supporting documents are for a gun license and a student ID.  Big difference.  If a college student is paying out of state tuition, they should be voting in the home state.

That’s not the law anywhere. Americans can vote where they live, even if it’s not their permanent residence. Students have the same rights as military and their families, and others who reside somewhere temporarily. Students are very much affected by state and local government actions and policies around their campuses and college towns and are eligible to register and vote there. College students count in the Census for state and local formulas for federal grants, for Congressional reapportionment, and other benefits and advantages. [/quote]
