IMO, We cannot count on a PR bump from those that move to the states for two reasons.

The group that makeup the upper end of the food chain will make a beeline for the Chamber of Commerce to build connections and get the lay of the land and offer their service.
At best they will register non pref.

The other group will be lucky just getting by and to register would be making their move seem permanent.

I don't this will happen for a while, if ever.

So what if their move is "permanent"? awesomerwb1 Oct 2017 #1

They still have to register in each state they move to, in order to vote. CK_John Oct 2017 #6

They don't have to commit to live in a place forever to vote there. SunSeeker Oct 2017 #2

They're US citizens, they can live anywhere they want in the US.
