I had an interesting conversation last night with a young girl I work with. Her sister is attending college in Connecticut. Apparently at the college she was encouraged to register to vote. She had explained that she lives in New York and had already applied for an absentee ballot. She was told since she spends seven months in college she should register in Connecticut. (She is a freshman, so has only been in CT a few months) She registered and I assume will vote. The girl I was talking to said her sister asked her to pick up her NY absentee ballot and bring it to her. She said she won’t drive 3 hours just for your ballot so she will only be able to vote once in the wrong location. I have often wondered when I hear about these voter registration drives signing up 10,000 new voters where they find that many citizens that are not registered. I guess now I know two things. Where a portion of these “new” voters come from and why the democrat party is so interested in the youth vote. Dumb enough to risk prosecution without knowing it and dumb enough to sell down the river if caught.
Ripe for fraud indeed.
I suspect we finally have a GOP politician who won’t stand for it.
We just need to spend some money to catch a lot of double votes. Then advertise the fact that they have been caught. After that just keep checking and advertising. It seems simple enough and I don’t understand why it’s not done.
I guess this means even the dead are part of the #walkaway movement.
I think the Dems have probably cranked it up a notch with absentee fraud. It’s not like getting caught at the polls using the wrong name, you just drop it in the mail. Anyone could have filled it out. I didn commid no crime.
IIRC this was a big deal at Marquette.

translation, the New York seats are safe, “vote here!”
most small towns do NOT want visiting college students to vote in the elections since they don’t own property and will be moving away in 2-4 years saddling the locals with policies and expenditures they opposed.
I have said for years that the greatest amount of voter fraud that is consistent is among college students.
They get an absentee ballot mailed to their parents address, and they vote in person at their college.
NONE of them have a single problem with doing this.

When Paul Soglin got voted into office the first time as Mayor of Madison, Wisconsin, one of the first things he did was pass laws that allowed STUDENTS at the UW to vote.
As you say, they were voting on financial items that they would never be paying for, since they were not property owners and most of them would never be living in Madison.
He is still Mayor, and he has turned that area totally Socialist. I hate him for the damage he did to a nice part of the country to live in.
Why do so many students they out of state rate if they “” live at the college?
It would end overnight (and is rife in Arizona) if those caught either lost student loans, or were expelled from school, or both.
Just makes me sick. I have voted in every election since I have been old enough, never more than once.Funny how the government can locate interest income across multiple bank accounts for the IRS but can’t or won’t look at multiple votes.
