Comments
Well it's a start, however this bill in it's current form CAN NOT pass. Unfortunately It presumes that any student who goes to school have automatically changed their domicile. This presumption would prevent and preclude said students from registering and voting back at their actual home should they so desire.
If a person attending RU attempted to register back in Fairfax to vote in a local race, they couldn't do it because they are presumed to be a Full-time resident of Radford. It can't work...
