Do Liberals understand how our voting system works?

[xsited1]

If you want to vote in the place where you go to college?

REGISTER in that state.

Geeze is that so difficult to understand?

Obviously for some people it is.

I have no problems with college students being treated the same way as the military.


You register to vote, you vote. Pretty simple really.



A Dorm room is not a "Domicile" nor does it establish "Residency" for pretty much any other purpose, including residency requirements for in-state tuition. Students are temporary and transient not permanent resident for the area of the college. Now that doesn't mean that a college student shouldn't be able to establish residency the same way any other voter does. As in buy property, rent an apartment, pay utility bills, complete time in residence requirements, etc... High student populations typically would influence the vote and override the people in the area that actually pay taxes to the locality.

Requiring a student to fulfill residency requirements DOES NOT deny the student the ability to vote, they can still vote where they have established residency. They just vote absentee, just like the military.

I ask because we have a thread where liberals are complaining because out of State college students are being denied the ability to vote in the State they attend college in. One of them even asked how deployed military voted.

.....But, it'd be different (for some CEO/business-exec...who's only expects to live there, 4-to-6-years) to vote, locally....right??

Wrong, idiot....

Legal permanent residence is all that matters....

But nice try

RETARD ALERT. Each State has their own laws on HOW to change ones residency. Pretty simple process. If those Students want to vote in the college district all they have to do is change their residency.

NO one is stopping them. This is a bullshit made up whine by idiot liberals that haven't a clue how anything works.

Hey Retard, that's what the discussion the other thread was about. The state law not allowing students to change their residency, just because they were students. So yes, someone is stopping them, and that is what the complaint is about. Next time you want to go insulting people's intelligence for the fact that they are discussing something, make damn sure you even know what the discussion is about.

Er..when you have a fit that people actually verify their residency, then obviously it's because you want non residents to vote.

Nobody is having a fit about verification of residency. People are discussing whether procedures will unduly burden people whose residency is in constant flux, like students. Nobody said that non residents should be allowed to vote. The question is whether students should be able to claim residency, and if they are whether procedures will discriminate against them. You instantly assume some kind of sinister conspiracy theory instead of taking a critical look at the issue.

And this is something the Dems have historically had a problem with. They party is crooked

Both parties are crooked, equally so.

and voter fraud is its standard operating procedure.

Citation needed.

Republicans understand that if too many Americans are allowed to vote they lose elections.

That is why they try repetedly to limit who can vote.

I'll tell you the same thing I said to someone else already. Stop being so dramatic and conspiracy theorist. Nobody is trying to stop anyone from voting. The question is WHERE people's residency should be determined to exist. As I've already explained, there is no need to appeal to evil to explain this whole thing. It is entirely sufficient to see this as political manuveuring. If anything, the most "sinister" quality of all this is that Republicans are probably trying to minimize the punch power of the "newbie voter" demographic, since the tend to vote Democratic, while Democrats are trying to capitalize on having strongly democratic districts pop up.

When people inject their fanatical interpretations of a situation into the debate, all it does is hurt your own side, while making the discussion devolve into meaninglessness.

1. Military members residency is in constant flux, they vote absentee via their home of record unless they establish a new state of residency and living in the barracks does not qualify. They have to become members of the community (buy property, rent off base, pay taxes, etc...) to establish a new residency before they can register to vote.


2. If a college dorm establishes residency, then why are out of state students living in the dorm charged out-of-state tuition?
