[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, because they don’t want college students voting twice. You must have in state I.d. To prove you’re an actual resident. Students aren’t residents. No conspiracy here. No trampling on rights. [/quote]

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

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.  [b]This is all entirely reasonable and the way it was when I was doing this 30 years ago. [/b] 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.  [/quote]

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.

+1000. When I was in college I was working part-time 30 hrs and studying. I didn’t have a car or the time to go find a state issued id which would probably have required a car.  Also, I moved dorms or houses each year so if said state id had to be mailed to me, it would have had a tough time finding me.  Everything about this is an effort to curb the participation of younger liberal voters. Everything! [/quote]
