Just absolute lies and misleading misinformation.

[stefenherrera]

That makes sense to me. I fail to see anything wrong with needing to live in the state you want to vote in.

[jonathanleblanc]

This is some next-level deception going on with this video.

[funkjoebrandon]

MSCCP has a long history of turning a blind eye to reality.

[reggieoglesby]

Duh! Only citizens of the state need vote in that state. Vote in the state of residency as should be. Never prevented me from voting.

[fedorburns]

I'm sorry but is this satire or are you guys serious? You can't be serious.

[foghornleghorn]

Kinda like the MSM "turns a blind eye" to facts and anything that requires actually journalism!

[RichardMiller-tqut]

Why do they keep confusing "harder to vote" with "harder to cheat"

[dmhkmen]

Couldn't those students still vote in their home states through absentee voting? That's what I did during college.

[lunaticfringe]

It’s called preserving the rule of law.

[LHS]

No reason the college students can't get an absentee ballot from their home state. You need to be a resident of a state to be able to legally vote in that state.

[karlostj]

Supreme Court turns a blind eye to state laws that are actually Constitutional.

[drfugazi]

RECOMMENDATIONS® I think it's a good idea to wear plastic bags with zip ties to flatten the TDS curve.

[darylgarrett]

They keep saying voter suppression when we ALL know it's voter protection.

[flasun]

The Supreme Court protects our CONSTITUTION not the days fashion or language

[pabstblurobot]

Why should a college student vote a second time in New Hampshire if they’re already voting in their home state?

[DigitalDuelist]

MSNBC's biased couldn't be more clear with titles like this. How do you take yourselves seriously?

[neilschmid]

It's not history it's about the rule of law.

[EXITLINER]

I wouldn’t say that’s a “blind eye to history” and I think anybody should have to be a resident to the state they are voting in.
*edit
Does this really even do ANYTHING?
This really would only effect people traveling out of state to vote, why would you even do that in the first place? This small issue could be easily solved by just voting in your own state where you have your plates registered to that state. Even if you were moving to go to college, you should register your plates to the state you moved to anyways. Conclusion, this is a pointless outrage that has been blown out of proportion by the biased media

[mikeables]

Dang it! I wanted to vote in Arizona a couple of times.
