What if we all bought a "Time Share" in PA and registered to vote there?
Perhaps in Santorum's home district.

What I mean is a few hundred (or thousand) people could all buy into the same timeshare for $5 each.

Say, we all owned one hour a year at some mobile home in the hills for $5/year?

Just a thought I had.


We could do this very cheaply.

1. Maybe we can take advantage of the school districts too
we can get thousands of dollars out of the district and free education for our kids if we say they are home-schooled.

2. Doesn't work that way with time shares. How about a cheap mobile home.
Have a ton of people, pay the lot rent. Buy it maybe for the primaries and everyone register repub and vote him out like they did with Cynthia McKinney. Although registering as a repub would be hard to do - my stomach would probably retch all over the form.

3. That's more or less what George Herbert Walker Bush did in
Texas with a hotel room to avoid paying taxes in Maine. Such deception is against the law, however. Former president Bush, as a member of the Bush Crime Family, was able to get away with it; but you, as a mere citizen, would probably go to jail.

5. Sounds pretty shady to me.
Sort of republicanish, if I may be so bold.

:thumbsdown:

6. Actually....
If you "live" in PA and another state, you are considered a resident of PA whenever you are in PA.
It comes in handy for many things.....

8. Liberal snowbirds should definitely vote in Florida ...
A few more snowbirds could've made the difference in 2000.

10. Provided you weren't registered elsewhere...
...and did not vote in both locations, I don't think it would be an issue. But then again I'm not sure what the residency requirement are to register in PA.
