Tennessee is kicking you itinerants off their voter registration lists.

"But in Tennessee, as Audie Cornish explained on Day to Day, there's a price
for wanderlust — you can lose the right to vote. The Tennessee legislature
recently passed amendments to state voting laws requiring voters to have a
residential address. So officials in Bradley County told 286 people who live
in their RVs full-time that they are being removed from the voter rolls. All
list their addresses through a mail-forwarding service, Mail Call USA.
Tennessee does not allow people to list commercial businesses as their
official residences unless they actually live there."

I agree. You shouldn't get to vote in a community unless you live in the
community.

That's old news and is no longer the case.
I should think you would know that.

Please don't quote the Sack-of-Sh*t, Nada - his insane blatherings have
earned him a permanent place in a great many killfiles.

I used to be an anarchist but had to give it up: _far_ too many rules.

As usual, you display your ignorance. I suggest you get out your Funk &
Wagnals and peruse the definition of "itinerant". However, an ignoramus such
as you quite probably doesn't own such a volume (by the way a Funk & Wagnals
is a dictionary) for your enlightenment.

Although the gist of your rant is correct, there are enough half-truths,
lies, and pure Liberal Bulls**t contained therein to make it pathetic, as
usual. The subject voters were not voting in the community, they were voting
in state and general elections. This is an entirely different situation. Of
course, one might expect such an action from the Tennessee legislature being
as Tennessee is the home state of that bloated big mouth the Algore. It is
obvious that politician full of misinformation, lies, and scaremongering are
commonplace in Tennessee. Now I don't include you in that group, now! You
must elevate your peurile mewlings several levels to reach their altitude.
