Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he would request an investigation into voter fraud, “including those registered to vote in two states.” But the new president’s own daughter Tiffany Trump is registered to vote in both Pennsylvania and New York, Heat Street has learned.
I will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and….

“There is nothing illegal about that,” said Fred Voigt, the deputy election commissioner for Philadelphia. “The illegality only occurs if one votes in two places, not if you’re registered in both.”
Tiffany Trump lived in Philadelphia while attending the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in May. Voigt said it was “very common for college students to be registered both where they live and where they go to school.”
According to public records, Tiffany Trump cast her vote in November in New York City and did not vote in Pennsylvania.
The spokeswoman for the New York City Board of Elections also confirmed that there was no legal problem with Tiffany Trump registering as a voter in both states.
In addition to Tiffany Trump, senior White House adviser Steve Bannon is also registered to vote in both Florida and New York, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. Bannon cast his absentee ballot in New York in November.
Might be something for the Trump Administration to look into if it wants to crack down on people registering in multiple states.
A big nothing burger.
Next logical question (which would never be asked by the msms) is how do the states compare their records??? Answer, they don't. Thus, we need an investigation.
That voids the Electoral College. Let’s start over again?
That’s not unusual since the states don’t always talk to each other. The question is whether she voted in two states.
Shoot, I’m probably still registered in California and I haven’t lived there for 14 years.
The valid one is wherever she’s living..
So they are trying to smear Trump by proxy, even where there is not an issue.
The real issue here is not Trump's daughter, it is the fact that one can easily register in two places and neither state knows about it. That needs to be fixed.
“There is nothing illegal about that,” said Fred Voigt, the deputy election commissioner for Philadelphia. “The illegality only occurs if one votes in two places, not if you’re registered in both.”
But it won’t be spun this way
BTW when I changed registrations, it asked me where I was presently registered.....do states talk with each other to eliminate duplication or is that my responsibility?
Seems like simple computer communications could take care of the problem quite easily and should be done rather than burden the voter with notification
Okay, well, she shouldn’t be.
This is what DJT is talking about.
I say the Russians did it.
Really, I never UN registered from when I lived in north Jersey and moved to central Jersey where I again registered in my new district.
I wonder if someone voted as you the last 14 years...
Its not like she voted multiple times.
Hey, liberals - either Trump lied about vote fraud or it really exists.
Which is it? No wonder people hate you for your sleazy dishonesty.
Well did she vote in two places? If not, shut up about it.
Yes! Let’s re-vote, this time with universal picture ID and proof of citizenship just for fun.
I can all but guarantee I am registered in more than one county in Ohio. They NEVER purge these rolls or do any investigating. Even when a relative delivers a death notice, they often d not take the person off the rolls.
Key statement:
“The illegality only occurs if one votes in two places, not if you’re registered in both.”
The creator of the Kellogg fortune was registered to vote in his home state and where he had his summer home. When he died both states used that registration to claim half of his estate, leaving nothing for the family.
JKM is beyond moronic. She has invited an investigation that will not incriminate most of the voters with extra registrations but put pressure on states and locals with bad voter rolls.
