Carrington v. Rash (1965)

We used the term “in- vidiously discriminate” to describe conduct prohibited under that standard, noting that we had previously held that while a State may obviously impose “reasonable residence restrictions on the availability of the ballot,” it “may not deny the opportunity to vote to a bona fide resi- dent merely because he is a member of the armed ser- vices.” Id., at 666–667 (citing Carrington v. Rash, 380 U. S. 89, 96 (1965)).

A State is constitutionally prohibited from disenfranchis ing any “sector of the population because of the way they may vote . . ..” Carrington v. Rash, 380 U. S. 89, 94 (1965).

At the time Ramey was decided, the three-judge court noted that, though the Palla decision appeared to give the predecessor of section 5-104 a construction comporting with constitutional standards, it was then “too early to determine whether, in light of Palla[,] New York will or will not apply a notion of a student’s intention to make a dormitory or other room a home that is too rigorous to meet constitutional standards.” Id. at 790 (footnote omitted).

There is "nothing constitutionally impermissible in New York's having thus enumerated certain categories of persons who, despite their physical presence, may lack the intention required for voting, persons who, in the Supreme Court's words, 'present specialized problems in determining residence.'

Because our democracy was founded on the principle that "the right to exercise the franchise in a free and unimpaired manner is preservative of other basic civil and political rights," Reynolds v.

But we refused to tolerate a blanket exclusion depriving all servicemen of the vote, when some servicemen clearly were bona fide residents and when 'more precise tests, ’ id., at 95, were available to distinguish members of this latter group. 'By forbidding a soldier ever to controvert the presumption of non-residence,’ id., at 96, the State, we said, unjustifiably effected a substantial deprivation.
