LBad, what if the situation was reverse and you permanently lived in NC but were going to school in NJ. Would you then think you should have to vote in NJ because that’s where you live on election day, or that you are wasting your vote in NJ because you are voting for a 'sure thing? (which, by the way, I don’t think is quite the sure thing you think it is) If you were planning on staying in NJ for ever and ever? If you hated NC and wanted nothing to do with it?
And what if (GASP) massmomm’s son isn’t voting the way you assume he is, if his vote would be just as valuable in MA as in OH for his candidate?
The court ruling was that a college student could establish residency in the college state and vote there, but the student has to actually comply with the registration rules. It can be done. UCB was just suggesting college students get familiar with the rules before the first Tues in Nov.
