Eugene Said:

Do Democrat claims of electoral victories this fall faith in their messiah Obama or ACORN's voter fraud plan?

We Answered:

Fraud! that is the way he went in and that is the way they expect to Stay in......
what has to be understood by Law abiding citizens, is the dems & libs really don't view it as fraud - or illegal - it is their view that rules and laws do not apply to them...

Eva Said:

Can someone explain how ACORN voter registration fraud would actually result in more votes?

We Answered:

Those votes will never be counted as actual votes. EVER.
I wish people would read that for themselves and also realize that Obama is not responsible for every damn thing that everyone does.

Tina Said:

I have a tax/voter registration question...?

We Answered:

Active duty military are protected under the Soldier's and Sailor's Civil Relief Act. Their domicile does not change when they move to a permanent duty station in another state. Those protections do NOT extend to family members however, leaving their status up to the whim of the states.

Your income is subject to CO income tax. It wouldn't matter if it was a DOD job or not. That is inescapable. The matter of your domicile is another matter entirely. Some states allow dependents to maintain their home state license and car tags and others do not. Some presume you to have changed your domicile and others do not. Your best bet is to consult with the folks at the JAG office on base. They will know how CO treats dependents as far as domicile issues are concerned. In general however if you wish to claim CO as your domicile and take the usual actions to establish CO residency such as get a CO license and register to vote in CO there's nothing that the state of CO can do to stop you.

To give you an idea how chaotic things can be, when I was stationed in IL, my wife was required to get an IL license within 30 days of her arrival. Under IL law she was now domiciled in IL and that was that. When we were stationed in VA she was allowed to keep her TX license as long as she did not work, vote, or register a car in VA.

As a former domiciliary of TX, I can tell you that their laws are all over the radar screen. Some counties in TX attempted to bar voting in local elections by active duty military residents who had been stationed outside the local area for an extended period of time back in the 1980s and 1990s. The Feds stepped in and put a stop to that abuse as it was clearly in violation of Federal law. However they did NOT bar the exclusion of dependents claiming TX domicile from voting in local issues if they didn't actually live in the local jurisdiction. Oddly enough TX does seem to honor the out-of-state domicile of dependents of military personnel stationed in TX. Pretty typical of TX politics, IMHO.
