I have noticed several comments in the newspapers and now here protesting
the right of college students to vote in local elections.  I would like to
remind people that you do not need to own property in a city in order to be
able to vote.  There are many other groups of people who would not be
eligible to vote if this were the case, including seniors living in
apartments, assisted living and rest homes.

The eligibility requirements to vote in Minnesota are:
1.      Be a US citizen;
2.      Be at least 18 years of age;
3.      Live in MN for at least 20 days prior to the day of an election;
4.      Not have one's civil rights taken away (i.e. be a convicted felon or
under legal guardianship)

                Noticed people couldn`t find a subject for discussion.
                  How about a complete re-vote on referendum now that
irregularities are
                starting to surface. I would suggest a date when the
college`s are on
                break so those that vote are getting to pay.
