The payment of taxes does not guarantee the right to vote.
And your father didn't want to become a citizen of the US? If he did, he would be able to vote- the same as islanders on the lake if they want to become residents of NH. They should be able to vote in NH and their town if they are residents. primary residence that is. Or is it illegal to make an island property your primary residence? People have lived on the islands all year.
