Also, uh... what about students who don't have cars?  Or, god forbid, don't have driver's licenses?  Where do they fit into this sh*t sandwich?

Sounds like this wouldn't apply to them. It's saying if you have a car, it should be registered in OH if you are registered to vote in OH. 

The car-vote registration connection seems pretty arbitrary to me. If you live somewhere the greater part of the year, you are involved in that community. It makes more sense for you to vote there than somewhere you don't spend as much time in and so don't have as much of a clue what's going on. If you have your car registered in another state with your parents or whatever because it's easier, what's the big deal?

And what about people that, you know, disagree?

I guess they have a reason for disagreeing?  I'm not sure what you're asking.

You seem confused by the prospect that people might still be more interested in participating in the political process back home rather than at school, and therefore they shouldn't.

That's taking my words to be much more strict than I intended.  If you are keeping up with what is going on in your home community, and want to vote there, I don't really problem with that. I just don't expect that most students or others that live most of the year somewhere else are really keeping up with what is going on back home.
