Reply to comment by katieleehaw in Out of State Plates (FL) and voting in RI? by Bobisadrummer

Could be, but that's not what this question is about. My question is about people who register their cars in FL but vote in RI.

People can move freely between states and sometimes getting something like auto-registration switched over doesn't take first priority? Or again, it may not even be the voter's car.

Yes, when you move you are supposed to change your registration.

Seems to make more sense people would want to vote in FL if they could, where their vote could help sway the results one way or the other. RI not being anything close to a swing state doesn't seem reasonable that anyone would go to the extreme of committing fraud just to vote here. And if you went to all that trouble, would you blatantly pull up to the polls in your out of state vehicle marked with plates that identify your fraudulent presence? Doesn't seem likely.
