I still see no reason as to why students should not be allowed to vote where they are in school.

I was born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, home of the University of Michigan, which has nearly 40,000 students during the school year. This number, at various points in time, can represent up to 40% of the permanent population of the city, and thus nearly 35% of the eligible voters in the city (75% of the roughly 110,000 permanent residents are voting age).

I don't know about you, but the idea of a bunch of young people, with no permanent ties to the city, who will be gone by June, having a decisive role - by the sheer numbers of their votes - in determining the taxes, policies, and politicians that the rest of us will have to live with the rest of the year and even after their four years are up and they move away, doesn't sit well with me.
