I usually try to not get into the controversial issues and I hope that this doesn't turn into one and if it does, I'll just back out and let the mods move this to Muzzleblast and ya'll can have at it. My question involves college student voting. I know a number of you have children who are in college so I would appreciate your input. Are out of state students, as a full time student, allowed to vote in the NC election for local and state offices? My thought is yes but my question is why? My assumption is that the majority of out of state student will not reside here after they complete or leave school yet they can have a long lasting impact on state and local government offices by their vote. Is that not what the absentee ballot is for, to enable them to vote in their home area/district, even for in state students who are not in their home area? I may be looking at this all wrong but was just wondering.
