Under that code, every out-of-state student in the state would be ineligible to vote. As that is NOT the case, its irrelevant.

No, law is not “irrelevant,” your ACLU-style sophistry notwithstanding. You are telling me that someone who clearly intended to rent a house just before an election to put that address on a voter registration form, who is not a student in Ohio, and does not intend to return to Ohio (for 4 years anyway) is not subject to state law.
Please. These are not students attending a college in Ohio. They are scofflaws.
Not so. The test is an intention to "always" return. IOW, the voter considers that state his or her home, and trips to out-of-state parents or guardian are considered temporary.
May a college student register and vote from his or her school address in Ohio?
Yes, a student may vote using his or her Ohio school residence address. However, the student may not also vote an absentee ballot where he or she last lived (e.g. with one or more parent or guardian). When a college student votes from his or her school address, the school residence is considered to be the place to which the student's habitation is fixed and to which, whenever the student is absent, the student intends to return, and is considered by the student to be his or her permanent residence at the time of voting.Some students who arrive from out-of-state would be ineligible to register to vote, others would be eligible.
Eligibility for in-state tuition turns on different regulations, with residency (domicile) typically being 12 months, with "time as a student" not counting toward residency for in-state tuition eligibility determinations.
