Please do NOT respond unless you have the state and link included....
Many would agree with the notion that if you have a physical presence in a town and pay taxes to the town then you ought to have some say in the running of that town. However, even if you own properties in multiple places and could actually vote in multiple places, you ought not to be able to vote more than once on things at the state or national level. Trying to do so seems decidedly counter to the principles of democracy and thus shameful. Wealth ought not to give more voting power.

The OP should not use this forum to gather information for an inappropriate purpose, nor should he tell forum members who can and cannot respond to a question asked openly.

I am now guilty of having helped perpetuate this thread, so perhaps this thread can be shut down or moved before I'm flamed too badly.
