It’s a legitimate fight, says a commentary published by The Huffington Post; both the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the 1970s that students must receive the same presumption of residency as other citizens for voting purposes.
New Hampshire College Democrats president Jeremy Kaufmann ’12, from Woodcliff Lake, N.J., took to the airwaves to defend his right to vote in New Hampshire. On February 7, he appeared on Radio Boston, a production of Boston public radio station WBUR, alongside bill sponsor Gregory Sorg, a Republican representative to the New Hampshire legislature from Easton, N.H.
