SCOTUS Ruling on ND Voter ID Law

I think the requirement when checking in at your voting site to present bonafide identification and proof of your residence, like a state drivers license or a state identification card that is current, is law in Indiana too. Makes sense to me.

Granted, it may cause confusion for folks who are full timing and REALLY don't live at their registered address, like a PO Box or a service company's address.

It solves a problem that doesn’t exist.

Voters can do all that once at voters registration and vote with their voters card on Election Day.

At least we now can clamp down on all those homeless RV ers.

Many people don't live at their registered address, including many of the First People that challenged the law that don't have traditional street addresses. It seems to me that as long as a valid ID is presented that places the registered voter in the appropriate voting district, then they should be eligible to vote.

The majority of fulltime RV'ers do in fact have legitimate street addresses through their mail forwarding service. Although I really doubt that ND has enough fulltime RV'ers domiciled there to be of any concern.

If you have an RV you most likely have a drivers license. This is issued some where. That is where you vote. Use absentee balloting if you cannot be there.

A mail service address is not the same as a residential address.

I've heard that Justice Clarence Thomas has an RV. It will be interesting what questions HE asks during the hearing.

yep, don't try to obtain a concealed carry permit in a state other than the one on your driver's license. doesn't matter if you own a stick and brick in another state.

Several states offer non resident conceal carry license. There's actually an advantage in MI to have a MI resident permit, and another state's non resident permit.

In addition, if you live in a state where obtaining a license is difficult, having a license from another state can be advantage to carrying in many other states.

Simple thing called the absentee ballot. I've already voted. You should be registered to vote in whatever state you claim your residency. There are a few caveats that determine that but you'll have to read up on whatever state you're looking at to ensure you've followed their rules. We have a mail drop in SD with no S&B there, but all our banking, voter registration, license plates and DL are from there. When we stop full timing we may buy a home there to live in or we may not. Doesn't matter. Your domicile state is the one you 'may' live in one day but the important thing is your 'intent' meaning transfer all your stuff to the state you're claiming to be your domicile state. If you've done that, you're already registered to vote there. Use the absentee ballot and you're done...This whole nonsense is just that. If you want to vote, show some ID. The ND law indicates other forms of ID that are acceptable. This involves the Res Indians and even tho they have no 'street address' they can provide utility bills, bank statements etc that show where they live.....Dennis
