Continuing controversies about student voting rights. The recent election in Virginia featured a continuation of the problems we have seen in that state regarding student voting rights. In some local jurisdictions, election officials apply their ambiguous state laws in a discriminatory manner against students, saying, for example, that any student who lives in a dorm is not legally allowed to register to vote from that address, whereas a student who lives off campus may vote.

And of course there is always the bogus threat the registering to vote will cost you your health insurance eligibility or affect your parents' income taxes... Not true!!
