A Texas Monthly article[1] from 1997 is cited by the Wikipedia article and alludes to unusual voter residency rules in Texas:
> Thanks to Texas’ domicile law, people who don’t live or work in the county can still vote there if they own a piece of land—and there’s plenty of land in Loving County for sale. “All you need to do is claim one of these little old deserted shacks or even a tree that you can eat your supper under as your own,” says one woman, who asked not to be named. “It’s all perfectly legal.”
The whole article is worth a read. It’s wild. Especially considering it was written before social media.
