Reply #46: The distinction lies somewhere between technical and meaningful

[Tom Rinaldo]

If a student who lives in Iowa during the school season and usually returns to his/her former state when school is out of session, manages to still be involved with the local community rather than being an "Iowan" on campus grounds only, that student showing up at a caucus meeting on his or her own volition won't seem like a blatant outsider being used by a political machine. But if a bunch of students who none of the locals have ever seen before get off of an out of state bus after having seemingly having been recruited to vote in Iowa by one of the candidates, that might come off differently.
