I live in a Republican State. but our county is heavily Democrat. Butte America, in fact is one of the founding seats of unionization. (Whether you are for or against unions, That's kinda cool that a tiny little town in South Western Montana had such a HUGE impact upon Unionization. But I digress. The point is, Silverbow County (Wherein Butte resides, is hugely Democrat).
So I was informed two days ago by somebody who is currently working in the county elections office, preparing ballots etc. of a particularly disturbing nuance of our law here.
You merely need a physical address in order to be registered to vote in Silverbow County. And it doesn't need to be a "Home". In discussions with this person working in the courthouse, it came up that a particular address was very odd and that there were several people registered at this address. And the woman in charge said, "Oh ya, that's the UPS store."
Apparently quite a few people "live" at the UPS store and the Public Library.
Awesome. Better yet, it would appear this is completely legal.
Double Awesome.
