That’s exactly what happens frequently. Actual residency, is ALWAYS in question here.
Dixville Notch is always celebrated by the State of NH and the Press for being first in the nation to vote in presidential primaries. For us folks who actually live in the area, we know full well that there are zero Dixville residents. People in Maine claim that they reside in Dixville, the press always shows up to celebrate Dixville, and the State turns a blind eye to the farce.
The astute will notice that for non-Presidential elections, there are never any voters (or elections) for offices like governor, congressional candidates, etc., in Dixville. But the presidential elections happen, with big fanfare, with a wink and a nod from both the press and the State.
