My wife had a FL DL and was registered to vote in FL for about six months before we moved out of MD. Nothing I wrote claimed anything different.

What I wrote was that it did not appear to be possible to obtain a FL DL while simultaneously claiming primary residency in WI. You have to choose, is your primary residence in FL or is it in WI (or any other state)? Since voter registration follows your primary residency, many states automatically register you to vote in their state when you first obtain a DL since obtaining a DL is a statement that you now reside in that state.

Why do people insist on making claims without looking them up first, do they really think no one will check? Proof by emphatic assertion rarely works.
Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
