Wow. I'm the first person to vote "no" after seven people voted yes.

I say no because of the primary residence issue. I don't want people deciding to vote where ever they please, for one. Also, how do you keep track of their registration? As someone who wants to...eh...get into this type of work in the future, I know the burden would be too heavy for poll workers, election board members, etc.

How about Dibble's proposal for residence?

Eh, not a fan. It seems very vulnerable to fraud.

It's no more prone to fraud than allowing college students to vote.

Homeless proof of residence is a little harder to prove than college proof of residence...

LOL  The idiot just wanted to mention "college students," Alcon.
