60. The legal term is domicile

I used to live full time in my RV, and worked in several different states. As a mobile resident, I got to choose where my legal home was. The rules state that you must 1. maintain a legal address in that state. My RV club (Escapees) had a mail forwarding service. No matter where I lived, I could have my legal address with them and have my mail sent to me. 2. You must maintain legal documentation, i.e., drivers license, voter registration, etc. in your chosen state. This is documentation that you have legal ties to your chosen state. 3. You are responsible for paying all taxes associated with the state of legal residence. That about covers it. Hope this helps!

Still seeing way to much cockiness and complacency here. There is no swing-state that is liskddksil Sep 2020 #1

I don't think anyone here is complacent. They are more than aware the electoral college will still_one Sep 2020 #2

I still see outrage whem folks point out that Trump has a very good chance of winning jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #5

I take that as they are worried that the election is very close, and are concerned if the still_one Sep 2020 #11

Hope you are right jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #15

I don't think this is like 2016, and most people know the very real threat we are under still_one Sep 2020 #18

I take it as rightfully reacting to vote-supressing doom and gloom. kcr Sep 2020 #31

Your inference then, is both incomplete and without substance. LanternWaste Sep 2020 #54

That poster is talking about swing states, not national polls, so your reply Celerity Sep 2020 #25

That is what I am referring to, because it will be those "swing states" that will determine the still_one Sep 2020 #34

no, we do not control the House, each state gets one vote, and the Rethugs control 26 state Celerity Sep 2020 #50

FWIW if we pick up two state delegations, we could ha e control jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #57

We need to pick up a net 3 to get to 26, which is almost impossible, given the complete rundown Celerity Sep 2020 #68

Thanks. The gerrymandering has really screwed us still_one Sep 2020 #59

That is bad news for Trump. He now has to work harder to win this state Yavin4 Sep 2020 #4

True, but Zeus69 Sep 2020 #8

Biden was only about 3% ahead in previous polling, and he's underperforming with Hispanic voters brooklynite Sep 2020 #13

Biden's default path is Hillary's states + PA-WI-MI. Yavin4 Sep 2020 #22

Ugh! Buckeye_Democrat Sep 2020 #9

Think that Puerto Rican electorate should really be focused on in Florida peggysue2 Sep 2020 #19

To get the PR vote, Biden must be willing to support statehood. Nothing else matters. OrlandoDem2 Sep 2020 #43

Biden and Latino vote in Florida? saljr1 Sep 2020 #14

People will tell you that there is a huge portion of latinos that love Trump. Especially Cubans and GusFring Sep 2020 #16

Sadly, those that are here want to shut out others, afraid they will lose their jobs. Thekaspervote Sep 2020 #21

I would think we would get the saljr1 Sep 2020 #33

To get the PR vote, Biden must send signals he supports statehood. Period. End of story. OrlandoDem2 Sep 2020 #41

Socialism, Bernie, and AOC Yavin4 Sep 2020 #27

Nominating Andrew Gillum was devastating in Florida Awsi Dooger Sep 2020 #28

Use it to motivate you budkin Sep 2020 #38

This one has me perplexed, but also motivated to work harder budkin Sep 2020 #37

Also, if you live in a blue state make sure you vote in FL if dual residence. OrlandoDem2 Sep 2020 #39

Is that even possible? budkin Sep 2020 #44

Some people live in one state in a summer and in other state in winter. LisaL Sep 2020 #47

We'll win Florida, Obama/Biden won it twice. radius777 Sep 2020 #45

Obama was very careful not to offend certain sensibilities people had JI7 Sep 2020 #49

Biden is similar, in the sense of having broad cultural appeal, radius777 Sep 2020 #51

If Biden loses Florida it will be due to Andrew Gillum Awsi Dooger Sep 2020 #46

Nobody associates Biden with socialism or the Sanders wing. /nt radius777 Sep 2020 #52
