50/50 ... though it's probably too late for moving to any of those
states to make any difference as in most places you have to prove
residency in your district for a certain period of time in order to
vote. Which essentially disenfranchises anyone who moves around a lot
(say for guys who do a lot of short-term consulting jobs). In all
honesty, in spite of the fact that they may not likely to vote anyway,
it disturbs me that this would also prevent homeless people from
having any vote. <sarcasm>Which is great, 'cause you know people who
have fallen on hard times don't deserve any rights anyway. Or perhaps
we should change the old addage -- instead of "those who have the gold
make the rules" it's "no gold, no rights", because hey, if you don't
have money, you must be a lazy jackass.</sarcasm>
