College students who protest having to show an ID to vote do so because their Drivers Licenses are from the state they come from. To wit, those who voted in NH, say around UNH, had MA drivers licenses.
“College students who protest having to show an ID to vote do so because their Drivers Licenses are from the state they come from.”
And getting a dl from the state they are in would probably incur car insurance hikes from their home state insurance companies, who thought the car was being kept in Virginia, Minnesota and not Los Angeles or Cambridge, MA.
No reason at all why they can't vote absentee in the state that they reside. Or, they can declare residency in the state where they go to college and vote locally.
But, they can't do both. :-) They also can't vote multiple times at different polling areas around their college ...seems like I remember stories about Dem "party buses" that traded an afternoon's worth of votes for booze.
I’d like to amend and extend my remarks- that also means they could vote locally in Amhearst or Hartford, and absentee in their home town. A local ID would eventually get back to the registrar in their home county, and loss of that second ballot!
