Actually your example of military personnel is a prime example of why this is ok
And this law would also affect military personnel. But it helps that there aren't major military installations in that state. The law is a nuisance. Even recognized, as I quoted above, by the republican body of students in the state.
Voting and voter registration should be made easier and more available, not restrictive, along with a proper voting system. I hope you, at least, agree with that?

So---in your view, different how?
Clearly, it doesn't take much for things to go over your head. That is nobody's but your problem.
So, what makes them different from the USA? All are republics, with representative government in place, not under a monarchy after all. What makes them different and gives more power to the people is... democracy.

Meanness is as meanness does and that is no ones problem but your own. The comment was uncalled for.
Any predictions on the middle east and the form of government they may adopt to be that of a republic, democrat form, or do you think they will stay a mob rule and be done with it?
The post by the way, in case you missed it, that I responded too, was a question regarding our spreading of democracy to the middle east.
America just has to do her part here, so, how well will she do it?
PS: we are a dufass for sticking our noses in where it doesn't belong.

You invited it with your "homework issues" so stop complaining.

Neither country I mentioned are in the Middle East. My point wasn't about spreading democracy in the middle east to begin with.
The Republican Party has historically used a variety of voter suppression techniques to target groups then deem not likely to vote for them in an effort to exclude them from the voting process.
The idea that college students should not be able to vote where they spend 8-9 months out of the year is absolutely ridiculous. This is about one thing and one thing only, trying to reduce turnout for college aged students because they happen to be very Democratic, hell the very sponsor of the bill in New Hampshire pretty much admitted as such.
The idea that college students should be able to take over the politics of a town just because they pay to be educated there, 8-9 months a year, and will never go back after 2-4 years, is absolutely ridiculous. Crushing this bill is about one thing only, to increase the turnout for college aged students who happen to vote Democrat (nothing to do with being democratic).
Make laws that actually force people to not game the system and the DEM's may end up losing every race in 2012. After all- students, minorities including illegals, unions and activists are all they have left.
yes you would since there is no national standard, or data base
ny doesnt know what co is doing, and vice versa
we need a national standard and database
Interesting considering the fact that shortly after my parents moved to S.C in 2009, I checked to see if they were still registered in NY and they weren't....
Aside from that, quite simply this isn't about stopping people from doing something that is already illegal, this is about stopping college kids from voting in the areas they spend most of their time simply because they don't vote the way some want. The sponsor of the N.H bill pretty much said that was the reason.
