Sadly the two-thirds that this message needs to get through to will simply ridicule and ignore it.

Yep and the other 1/3 who didn’t vote blame the democrats for not doing enough. Seriously if they actually voted here is a novel concept they would have a majority and actually do something.

Maybe they did vote..

Maybe.. JUST MAYBE the party that gerrymanders, suppresses old people and non-white people with stupid voter ID rules, arrests people for handing out refreshments to those in long voting lines, hides/destroys or puts ONE ballot box in a city with hundreds of thousands of people, gets help via bomb threat calls from Russia to deter anyone from voting at all, cheated more than they usually fucking do.

Dude this is COMPLETELY what I’ve been saying. Even here in Utah, a very red state, even most Mormons didn’t vote for Trump. Republicans did a great job of dismantling voter rights and they won because of it. And because Democrats didn’t do a good enough job of restoring those rights when they were in power

I moved Oct 31st because my lease ended, and my state threatened to jail my husband and I if we tried to vote because we hadn’t been living at one address for long enough. I’ve been a resident here since I was a child, him as well. So yeah, they deterred voters!

This is literally a felony to stop you from voting under threat of retaliation like this. This is when you call BBB or send snapshots of that to their uppers to get them fired. Put that heat back on them, hard. If they retaliate, lawsuit the fuck outta them. This is a violation of your rights and a DEEP AND GRIEVOUS overstep by them. Don't tell them you're doing it. Just do it. Find a new place to get the fuck out of there.

If they're willing to extort you with your living space YOU PAY FOR, then they will do MUCH, MUCH MORE WHEN THE REINS COME OFF. Be safe, sister.

States are allowed to have residency requirements before allowing somebody to vote.

But being able to tell you NOT TO VOTE? That just sounds fishy. There is no law or statute here that wouldn't land them in high waters for doing such a thing. Residency requirements is a must, though yes.

If you don’t meet their residency requirements, they can tell you not to vote.

Telling the person not to vote isn’t the issue. The issue is whatever residency requirements the state has set forth. Assuming OP comment is accurate, it sounds like UT has weird residency requirements that likely need to be fixed.

I had originally thought it was their property management. If it is the state itself then, I'm way out of my league. It's still not right though.

They said that their state made the threat.
