What of the Electoral College?

How would it be affected, you mean? It wouldn't be any more affected than it already is by people moving, dieing, and being born.

It is still one FEDERAL vote, in a state of legal residency, which presumably, would also be the state-of-record for the census.

The population is always in flux, but reapportionment only occurs every ten years, after the census, so the EC is always slightly out of whack anyway.

If people in these positions either split their vote like we did--wife resident & registered in one state, husband in the other--or switch their legal residency back and forth depending on which issues which year are most important to them, the EC is still out of whack.

Don't think the states involved don't both want tax returns showing ALL income! In our case, we were at least spared part of that by having one residence in a state that does not have a state income tax.

However, property & other taxes applied. So did whacko initiatives by Lefist organizations on everything from anti-guns, to "humane" fishing, to limiting property rights, to legalizing drugs, to 'gay rights'. All of these affect both property values and 'living values'.

Statistically, it would not be enough to matter at the EC level, but would provide fairness at the local level.
