Depends on the state. Some you do, some you don't.

Yes, Dana, registration as a such-and-such in the voter rolls isn't the same as party membership -- for that you sign up with the party in question, and may pay membership dues. Partisan/party activists usually do this.

What? :eek: You mean in some states you have to pay to vote in the primary?

:D

Break time!

Thanks Jinx

We have been doing this in New Hampshire for some time and it is not a good idea becasue it does not stop with simply letting students vote.

There has been some movement in my state to change the rules so that anyone can vote anyplace in the state - regardless of where they reside.

And this is a direct result of one party wanting to effect the outcome of local elections with bussed-in students (whose votes are really not needed by that particular party in the college towns where they reside).


Of course, those votes could make a big difference in other wards around the state.

The other problem is that no body ever checks to see who is cheating and who is not.

So kids with out-of-state scholarships (paid for by my tax dollars) are claiming residence in my state and (for the most part) cancelling out my (usually conservative) vote.

We also want them to do things like register their cars here and etc but, so far, they get away with paying those fees to their home town while effecting our elections.

Welcome to the Cellar, Mr Rockhead. :D
Voting where you don't live, on local issues, sounds like political shenanigans to me.
Must be those wetbacks that came from MA.

Lobstah-backs?

Nah, those would be from Maine.

Lobster People will eat you fo dinner.
