So soldiers and their families who live in on-post housing and honorably discharged veterans who rent an apartment don't have enough of a stake in their communities to vote?
Amen! That’s always been my problem with the argument that one must be a land owner. Even after my active duty hubby and I bought a house. The only reason that we did was because of our timing of our move to DC (the housing market was crashing but the BAH rates were not yet reflecting this). Otherwise...we’d either be in an apartment or on-post right now (probably an apartment, as I’m not even sure where soldiers stationed at the Pentagon are eligible for housing...Belvoir? Myer? IDK).
I would have been willing to give up my right to vote as just a military spouse if it were only for landowners and military. I’m not alone in that thought.
A soldier living in on-post housing can vote “absentee” in his/her home-of-record.
