I would love to see some republican PAC just look up a random sampling of snowbirds and see if they are registered in two states. Just a dozen being prosecuted would send the message.
You’re probably right about the absentee ruse. I moved from North Carolina and received a notice cleansing me from the voter roles after they discovered my address change at the Post Office. This was surprising as NC has about the most lax voting standards anywhere, no ID needed. My daughter has lived in FLA for about 10 years and was only cleansed from the roles when they did my address check this year. (She didn’t vote in NC during that time anyway, but there are probably many who do.)
Also college students who are of legal voting age and going to college out of state. Absentee ballot in home state, vote in person in state where going to college.
“The snowbirds probably vote in person in Florida, and absentee from their northern location. I’m guessing that as long as the address stays the same, they will keep sending absentee ballots to that location.”
Yep that is why we call them snowbirds. They are down south to vote in person after mailing in their absentee ballots from up north. I call this the double vote tango.
It isn’t just the left winger snowbirds of the NE doing the double vote tango. The lefties from the midwest and Oregon and Washington head south during the last two weeks of October.
I5 South out here is loaded with south bound snowbirds heading to S California or Arizona during the last two weeks of October. If they are liberals they probably do the double vote tango
