...is candidates and campaigns that make them necessary.
I fully support the right of college students to choose to vote in either:
- The community where they lived before college and live during college breaks, or
- The community where their college is located.
It's embarrassing to even ask whether a Democratic candidate for President supports the right of a citizen over 18 to vote where he or she lives. But it seems we must.
(By the way - isn't it odd that if I don't go to college at 18 and just rent an apartment in Ames or Berkeley, there's no issue at all. Everyone agrees I can vote.)
So, it's a simple question. Will your candidate take that simple pledge?
There's a debate coming up this week - but since the Des Moines Register is one of the hosts, they may not ask this.
