Default Re: Should they be allowed to vote twice?

Here's an interesting article on this topic of multi-state voting:

Massachusetts woman fined for voting in Connecticut

State election officials have fined a Massachusetts woman $4,000 for voting in Connecticut with an absentee ballot that tied a primary race in Groton that had to be decided by a coin toss.

The state Elections Enforcement Commission has fined Alicia Primer, of Weston, Massachusetts, who has a second home in Groton.

Primer had told The New London Day that she thought she could vote in Groton because she owned property there.

The situation figured in a tie vote in a Democratic party primary for state representative in August 2006. Elissa Wright won the Democratic nomination for a state House seat in Groton by a coin toss after a provisional ballot tied the race.

When the results were tallied last August, Rita Schmidt had one vote more than Wright. But when the mandatory recount was completed, state officials advised Palmer to count one more absentee ballot.

That absentee ballot was the one cast by Primer.
