Good point. If little Johnnie went to High School in state ABC, and he remains a dependent to his parents in state ABC, Plus if Little Johnnie also pays OUT OF STATE tuition in state XYZ, then he definately should not be allowed to vote in state XYZ.
I would bet a million little johnnies also vote in BOTH states!
For whatever reason, VA and NC are popular college destinations for TONS of NY/NJ students, both private and state schools. VA law says to vote here you have to be a ‘permanent resident,’ which college students clearly are NOT. A couple of electoral registrars challenged their registering here, but were overridden at the state level.
We now have a GOP Gov, Lt. Gov., AG, and majorities in both houses of the state legislature (barely for Senate). If the don’t do something to protect the integrity of the electoral system, and not allow votes of actual VA voters to be diluted, they don’t deserve those positions.
When I re-registered to vote in VA, after moving back from CA, the state electoral board sent a notice to the CA electoral board. Before that I’d moved around a fair amount and never saw one electoral board notify another of the new registration. I hope all those johnnies’ home districts were notified.
