I believe you should vote in districts where you own property. For candidate also. For state or national you should vote one. We need a national registration and a new look at property owners voting where they own property

Non-property owners get 1/2 vote. Slaves and women none.

(Wait a second...)

Owning property is not the right metric. I own property in at least two states. It should be the state of residence under IRS rules. The voter roles should be purged every two years, IMHO.

Absolutely not. If you live there, yes, but not just if you own a piece of property in the precinct.

The reason is that such property owners don’t care about the quality of services they don’t use, especially schools, but also police presence, garbage collection, etc. In areas with a lot of absentee property owners, local services would surely suffer.

If you buy property where you don’t live, you are simply accepting the fact that those living in the area are setting your tax rate.

Now, if they start to charge you more than they charge themselves, that’s another matter entirely.
