Non-residents, or non-permanent-residents [a.k.a. students] if of voting age, should ONLY be able to register to vote where they come from. Even if they are a Virginia resident, that does not give them [VA-Tech students] legal rights or privilages to vote in Blacksburg. PERIOD! That goes for UVA in Charlottesville or any other college town.

I'm sure the Obama camp will be doing just the exact opposite to the military voters though. Probably declare that they must register in person at their home polling place to qualify to vote even if they're in Afghanistan or Iraq.

I was at VT in 1981, and I voted absentee in Maryland for Ronald Reagan. I would have never CONSIDERED voting at my college town, because I didn’t live there.
