Spoken like a true non-thinking lib who has no sense of his own.

Another lib who spits up talking points from the loopy left yet has nothing to show as proof. Good lib-dog.

Each state is different but most (if not all) will allow absentee ballots for college students.

It is the individuals responsibility to update their information.

If students are residents in their state, then they can vote in their home of record. To become a resident of their college town/city, they must meet certain requirements such as having their vehicle registered or have a utility bill. Most college kids and young adults do not vote in local elections or even pay attention to local politics, and with politicians targeting colleges they seem to get spoon-fed their views.

S. Carolina attempted to implement voter I.D. laws and even offered to bus the poor, elderly, and others to get a state I.D. free of charge, but apparently that is still racist. Go figure.

Let's pretend all of that is true. So what?

Flaccid gestures do not ameliorate the intent of the law.
"So what?" Are you in elementary school? If you are going to refute my statement then at least make an attempt. As I stated before, the ballot is mailed to the address that an individual has registered with. Is it 100% fool proof? No.

Attempting to enforce the conditions that come with voting is up holding the law.

Actually if you look into the parameters of the real voting fraud over the last years it is not "ghost" voters...it is absentee ballots and gross stuffing of the voting system.

So if your interest was really in stopping voter fraud one would concentrate on perfecting the absentee and the operation of the voting system. But fixing fraud in the absentee system is not even on the scene.

Could it be that absentee ballots tend to be Republican?

Not at all. I am simply expecting you to actually make an argument rather than spouting off random assertions with no obvious implication. I ask the question because as far as I can tell what you said there was meaningless. "So what?" is not a rhetorical question. I am actually asking, "So what?"

Worse than merely not being "100% fool proof," it doesn't even have the obvious checks of age or gender that you have in voter ID-less in-person voting. Anybody can fill out an absentee ballot.

And suppressing the legitimate votes of your opposition is upholding corruption.

This is true no matter whether you are voting absentee or in person.

But you don't register to vote by state. You register by precinct.

I guess that lefties would consider bus fare to get to the polls a "poll tax".
