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.

It’s not at all surprising since she is a Democrat.

[SuziQ]

Probably like many college students who live in apartments in the city in which they go to school. Did she VOTE in both those states? That would be the pertinent question. That’s what many ‘snowbirds’ do, apparently. They’re registered to vote in their home state, and they also vote in FL, where they have their ‘winter homes’.

I’m not sure what you meant by “de-activated.” The executor of a deceased person’s estate is generally obligated to pay the outstanding debts of the deceased. Of course, some debtors don’t make claims. If there aren’t enough assets to pay all of the claims, the executor decides, consistent with applicable state law, who gets paid. Some assets like retirement funds and insurance payouts to heirs are usually not subject to debtors’ claims.

“So, Miss Tiffany Trump has done nothing wrong...and it’s just more fake-you news emanating from the unhinged anti-Trump enemedia channels.”

I really like that phrase, “fake-you”. Very clever play on words.

I think I mentioned I kept getting OH ballots all summer after I moved to AZ.

Shoot, I’m probably still registered in California and I haven’t lived there for 14 years.

How do you go about cancelling your registration? Some States used to purge voter rolls if you missed a Presidential election. You may have noticed that the Federal Courts stuck their nose into the process and prevented several States from purging voter rolls in the last election.

Everything is still in the account, but nobody has access to it. They are all made inactive and inaccessible simultaneously with the filing of that Death Certificate. Once you do the paperwork at the courthouse to become the Executor, you can activate them one by one to be under your control. It’s about a two week process per institution, but you can have them all in process at the same time. Then you can write checks, make deposits, etc.

[itsahoot]

I don't know of any state that has an effective system for cleaning up the voter roles and removing people who move away or die or whatever.

I am pretty sure the state I used to live in you were removed if you missed a presidential election, seems pretty simple.

[morphing libertarian]

That’s taxation without representation. Own property, pay property tax, and no vote.

[morphing libertarian]

Slaves and women?

[itsahoot]

And it's just as ridiculous to think that someone would actually vote in Michigan then hurry home to Texas and vote there...........Sheesh!

Never heard of absentee voting I see.

[Hot Tabasco]

Never heard of absentee voting I see.

Actually I have. What are the rules regarding a resident of Texas who now resides in another state filing an absentee ballot and registering to vote in Michigan?

[nopardons]

Oh good grief...Tiffany didn’t vote in both states, but I bet that she asked her name to be removed, in Pa. and they didn’t do it! My friend’s parents died, in Chicago, well over a decade ago and every year they vote....and hell yes, all of their kids keep phoning and writing asking that their parents’/ names be removed from the voting rolls. THE REQUESTS ARE JUST IGNORED.

Finally, the leftist media digs into those people registered in more than one state.

Thanks to MSM for highlighting a major issue with voter registration.

With today’s advanced computer systems, it would be easy for the county registering a new voter to ask about prior registrations and to advise the registrants former county to purge their old registration.

Seems like an easy fix to correct one of the many voter registration issues.

Not sure if this is the same thing, but I lived in WV for about 2 years. Broke up with the girlfriend, and moved back to WA state.

Registered to vote in WA state not long after I returned from WV. New drivers license, new residence.

Years later (almost 13 years!), when I went to renew my DV, the state of WA put a hold on it, claiming I owed money to the state of WV, and, because of some kind of reciprocity something or other, my DV in WA state couldn't be processed until I cleared up the WV mess.

Turns out, after a few phone calls to WV, that it was a clerical error something something, and the state of WV got right to work clearing my name. But that didn't stop the state of WA from denying my license and forcing me to drive illegally for a few days, until the matter was cleared up.

The states do talk to each other. When there's money to be made. Because someone who owes money to WA might move to WV, and WA wants their money back, so WV will deny all kinds of services and documents until WA gets its money.

Perhaps there is no money for the states in: investigating voter fraud, hunting down scofflaws, clearing the dead voters, multiple state registrations, tracking illegal criminal alien invaders, obeying the laws of the land, yada yada yada -- costs money, as opposed to free money from law-abiding citizens to settle debts.

What are the rules regarding a resident of Texas who now resides in another state filing an absentee ballot and registering to vote in Michigan?

It is against the law of course, so what is your point? There are many laws, people even obey some of them.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Sounds like a national cross-checkable eligible voter database is needed. Should take a day or so to create the db, then a few weeks to get the data from the states and load it. Can have it in place well before the next election if they get started soon.

College kids - say goodbye to voting absentee at home and in person at school.

True, so don’t buy the property if that’s an issue with you.

I repeat, absentee landowners have no right to set the tax rate for the people who live in an area.

All you have is the right to be treated like everyone else for tax purposes. You don’t have the right to tell them how good (or bad) their schools, streets, water and sewer, etc., have to be maintained. If absentee landowners, particularly those who own hunting land, could vote, they’d just vote down anything that raises their taxes, regardless how that affected the people actually living in the area.

Anyway, that’s the way it is, so apparently I’m not alone in thinking that way. You want a vote, move onto the property. Just be aware that living there might change the way you’d vote, which is the point.

[morphing libertarian]

they have just as much right as anybody. The tight to vote now s based upon 1 person one vote, but it wasn’t always that way. You just think it’s supposed to be that way. Had you grown up with property owners voting you’d be arguing my position.

Fodder for Sean Spicer’s next rendezvous with the fake media !!!
