The Ghost Residents Who Live All Over, But Vote in Texas - a podcast by WFAA

Ready for a change?  A growing number of Americans are exchanging four walls for four wheels.  The fast-growing subculture is full of folks looking to redefine the American dream while living exclusively in their RVs, vans and campers.  And one of the oldest and largest groups of digital nomads has an “address” right here in Texas, some 75-miles north of Houston.  Members “live” in that city even though they may never visit.  And that means they can get a Texas driver’s license, register their vehicle and not have to worry about a state income tax.  What’s more, they can vote.  And as the Jasons learned in this episode of Y’all-itics, with such a large group, they can influence some elections.  The question now is how all of those election bills being considered in Austin might change things.
