I have always wondered how exactly county and district lines may affect how citizens vote. It is completely conceivable that one day you may be a citizen of one county, then the next day, you could become a citizen of a neighboring county, depending on where the lines are drawn. But ? and I’m honest when I say this ? I NEVER thought that these arbitrary lines could become so insidious that they would divide a house (literally). What’s more, I am still having trouble swallowing the fact that,
“‘In cases where a county line splits a residence, election law requires residents to register in the county of their bedroom, or where they lay their head at night,’ said Johnnie McLean, deputy director of the state Board of Elections.”
This definitely gives new credence to the power of sleep.
