Those corporations fleeing those states are bringing their salaried staff with them and therein lies the seed of another economic failure in the states to which they flee.

I could see voting rights being strictly a state citizenship sort of thing with new residents having to wait at ̀ years before they can vote in in any elections below that or President. Give them time to become acclimated to th relative freedom that they think they love so much so that they may be less inclined to vote in the Services that bankrupted the states they fled.

Or, make voting eligibility based off of you having paid taxes the previous year. That would eliminate people from voting rolls when they move out of the state, when they die (at most one year of Dem voting), and, it would remove people who have no skin in the game from voting themselves freebies. There's a reason the Founders originally only gave voting rights to landowners.
