Any student over 18 has the right to vote, assuming they’ve not done something to lose that right. In New Hampshire, Student Voting Rights translate as follows: out-of-state students attending college in New Hampshire have more voting rights than actual residents.
You will likely see or hear the term’ Student Voting Rights’ on social media, Democrat candidate campaigns supporting “Student voting rights,” or in the press from whiny leftist groups (including “the press”).
You do not need to engage in lengthy debates about domicile, residency, if someone feels like they might stay in NH, or whether anyone else can know their feelings.
None of that matters. Why? Because we’re talking about voting rights. Equality or equity or non-discrimination means everyone has the same damn rights. Right? Wrong.

Out-of-state college students in New Hampshire have more rights than actual New Hampshire residents. The NH Dems know it, the NHGOP knows it, and Chris Sununu and his AG know it. The Secretary of State knows it too.
When someone brings up student voting rights, the only question anyone needs to answer is this. Why can these students “legally” vote in either of two states, but I can only vote in one?
A student from California matriculating on campus in the Granite State can, according to the NH Democrats, vote in California or New Hampshire. You can only vote in New Hampshire.
Even when the “students” are in their home state learning remotely, NH Dems encourage these students to vote in New Hampshire by mail but asking them to vote from here by mail to their home state is vote suppression, even though Democrats support all absentee or all mail-in voting.
Okay. Can you mail a completed ballot to any other state than New Hampshire?
Nope.
Student Voting Rights is a code for giving a class of likely Democrat voters not just more rights than you but denying you the same rights given to them.
Student Voting Rights means they can vote in either of two states (three or more in the case of out-of-state campaign workers) in every or any election they choose.
These Students can vote in your state or their state, but you can only vote here. And this is something you can use in at least two different ways. First, you can use it to challenge claims by groups squawking about Student Voting Rights. Second, you can use it against Democrat candidates who claim to support special rights for a class of individuals instead of all of them.
Challenge them.
Why do you believe they should have more rights than me? (You may have to explain it.)
How am I suppressing votes when these students can vote in two states?
And if I can’t vote in two states, how are you not suppressing my voting rights?
And remember, NH students who truly live in NH can’t vote in any other state either.
Take it wherever you want from here. I think you’ve got this.
