We had the same situation in VA in ‘08. And similar circumstances to IN.

In our case, students from NY/NJ and all of New England who attend VA colleges were encouraged to register and vote here. Their votes aren’t needed to carry the electoral votes at home, but certainly help to sway ‘purple’ states in the D direction. I imagine students from IL attending IN schools did the same thing.

Actually ours were from the same area NY,NJ and the states around that area. Some thought they were organized and registered while they were still at home.

Over state voter fraud?

Their grandparents (snow birds) vote twice, why shouldn’t they.

Very true, and the 'Rats strategized to take advantage of those demographics.

Now that the GOP controls the Virginia legislature and the state executive, does it have any plans to counteract that strategy with appropriate legislation? Or does the state GOP presume that the college students will be much less enthusiastic about voting for Zero this time around?
