5. That is disturbing, isn't it?

Imagine being 19 years old and a sophomore at UI, ISU, UNI, Grinnell, Coe or somewhere else in the state. You're from Illinois originally, but you've taken pains to emancipate yourself from your parents as best you can, signed a lease on an apartment in Iowa City, Ames, Cedar Falls, etc., and moved your life to Iowa. Now, you have to project three years into the future about where you might end up after earning your BA?

If you live in Iowa at the time of the election, and you have a residence in the state at that time, as long as you vote only in Iowa, then it doesn't matter where you might be in three weeks (shit happens), let alone in three years.

Why not make everyone sign a form that they intend to be in Iowa in a year, two years, 10 years? (Oh, wait. Don't repeat that. It might give the GOP another idea.)
