Rep. Richard Drake of Muscatine supports a bill requiring dependent 18 to 21 year olds to vote where their parents live rather than where they attend college. He argues it constitutional, while Rep. Fred Schwengel calls it unworkable and unconstitutional. The measure would move the congressman designation on ballots, require paper ballots for this age group, allow participation in party affairs, and set a 30 day residency voting rule with pre election ballot submission.
