<p>It’s fundamentally unfair for college students who are living away from home to vote at their college address. Take the Oberlin College example: 1,200 students, 90% of them registered Democrats can swing a tax levy vote one way or another or determine the outcome of a local election or even a County election. But these same students don’t have any skin in the game – no real connection to the community once they’ve graduated and moved on to grad school or work. But the community will be paying for the tax levy for 15 to 20 years after the students are long gone.</p>
<p>That’s just not right. </p>
<p>When I was in college and old enough to vote, I had to do it by absentee ballot. That should be the standard from a fairness standpoint, don’t you think?</p>
