CA SurveyUSA: Trump gets crushed

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Yeah, I wonder why there are so few people ready to leave everything they have behind, for a temporary boost to their political party. I don't think some people here get that the world is not at all similar to Atlas Forum members.

Registering in another state is just paperwork, and land in these states is cheap.
Millions of students make that tradeoff every year when they register.

"the world is not at all similar to Atlas Forum members" : irrelevant, since it would only take a million politically involved Californians owning a small plot of land in a red state and heading there just on Election Day to overcome the undemocratic Electoral College & Senate.

It may not be the most ethical solution, but if the current popular vote imbalance persists, the issue will come to a head one way or another.

I'm pretty sure that if someone living in a state that doesn't exactly a reputation for affordability has an extra $70k laying around (that's a "cheap" house in the US even in flyover country) there are far more productive ways to invest that to help the Democratic Party than buying a house in a swing state that would earn them a a max of two more votes and wouldn't run the risk of prosecution for voter and/or tax fraud.

The idea that the laws set up to specifically govern voter registration by college students also allow anyone who owns any speck of land in a state to register to vote there is jaw dropping in its ignorance, and even moreso than claiming voter registration is "just paperwork". This is like as dumb as that Republican Representative who thought he could just register with a post office as his address.

As stated above, the idea of registering in a second state is so "jaw-droppingly ignorant" that on top of millions of students, even candidates running for office carry it out regularly.

YES BECAUSE THERE'S ACTUALLY LAWS IN PLACE FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF ALLOWING STUDENTS TO DO IT.

Yes, candidates move for this purpose too. They have more at stake than a single vote, shocking.

It's also fascinating to see some people frame American electoral law as logical and consistent when it led to Bush being elected by 5 men on the Supreme Court and Trump rising to the presidency while losing the popular vote by 2M.

I...don't think anyone was saying that?

Moral pontificating aside, what's to stop such an idea? In what documents are conditions on residency or presence in order to obtain voting rights spelled out?

The laws governing voter registration of each state.
