Either you have to appear or you can usually hire an attorney to represent you.
No you can't do it from where you live.
This is why out of state drivers are more likely to be picked out of a group of speeders, you're less likely to travel back for the court appearance than someone who lives nearby.

Though it may be true that you have to go back to the other state to dispute the ticket you do have an alternate choice. You can write a letter to the judge and explain either A) why you were speeding with an apology or 2) why you don't think you should get a ticket. The first option will usually get you at least a reduced fee and the second may (or may not) get you out of the ticket altogether.
I used to(note: USED TO) get speeding tickets all the time and did this everytime as recommended by a cop I know. It does work everytime. Good luck!

Unfortunately, to dispute a speeding ticket you usually have to go to the courtroom in whatever jurisdiction the ticket was issued in. (You might call the clerk of court for that jurisdiction just to be sure...) But I rather suspect you'd be better off just to go ahead and pay it. Probably save money, time, and trouble in the long run.
Good luck!

You must go to the jurisdiction in which the incident occurred. Depending on the expense you'll incur to go to court, it might be better to hire an attorney to do this for you. Contact the Bar Association in the county where the incident occurred and they'll give you a free referral to an attorney who can assist you.
I did this once, and in spite of the attorney's fees, it was cheaper than going to that other state and missing work, etc.

You have to go to court in the jurisdiction that issued the ticket, even if it 1000 miles from were you live.

It has to be the court in the jurisdiction of where the ticket was issued.

I can't believe you actually asked this question. Yes, you have to go to the jurisdiction where the ticket was issued.

You must go to the court that has jurisdiction where the citation was issued.
