However you have to agree the actions by this professor who specifically tells his students to illegally sign a petition when they don't live in the district and to make sure they use their "campus address" is just wrong. As a person with power over his students his actions are ridiculous. I wonder how many other professors or teachers did the same...
If a student's campus address is their legal address, it's legal to sign. If it isn't, yes, it should be thrown out.

As an aside, I'm very concerned about the current Republican nationwide push to change current voting laws in order to disinfranchise students from voting on campus before 2012.

No, I agree it's questionable to have that in a classroom (due to the professors power) just as it is to have recall petitions going around at a workplace via a supervisor.
