No, this little ploy has been done on military installations too. Many times people have been denied the right to vote because they were military and dependants. Even though they were also taxpayers of the states where they were stationed. This is along the same line I believe.

Military people can be legal residents of one state; and live, work, and pay taxes in another. They have to vote in their state of declared legal residence.

My husband is retired military and we always registered to vote in his home district and then voted absentee. When we bought a home we registered where we lived. Military have to have a permanent home address and should never consider base housing a permanent home address. We were also allowed to keep his home state licence plates on our cars.. We filed out income taxes in his home state as well. It all changed only when we became home owners and changed his permanent home address to our new home. College students probably do the same thing. They should have registered at home and applied for an absentee ballot in time to vote. The dorm is not your permanent home.

Someone goofed big time by not explaining this to the students.
