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.
The problem is really NOT people being registered in two states, the problem is NON citizens voting!!! We will NEVER get CA. back with illegals voting by the thousands!!! AZ. will be TURNING blue if this is not taken care of!!!!
>>Shoot, I’m probably still registered in California and I haven’t lived there for 14 years.<<
Doesn’t mean your vote hasn’t been cast there several times since you left, you know. You should give your old precinct a call and see how many times you’ve been logged in to vote since you left, assuming you’re still registered there.
Sure didn’t take long for the press to find a potential fraudulent vote once they got on the case, did it?
Imagine how many they’d find if they really started digging, and then started cross checking the voting records of all those they find who are registered in more than one state.
Not going to hold my breath until they start that effort though....
It’s not illegal to be registered in two or more states. It’s illegal to vote in two states. Liptards make it very difficult to clear voters rolls, even dead voters from voter rolls.
Someone shouldn’t be registered in two states. The potential for fraud is there when that happens.
I realize she may not have broken a law. Maybe the states in question have done a lousy job.
California gives illegal aliens drivers licenses, so it follows that at least some of them now vote in Presidential elections.
Not good.
Same thing happened to me when I moved back to Florida from California. There was no way I could un-register in CA so when I registered in FL, then technically I was registered to vote in 2 states.
>>Seems like simple computer communications could take care of the problem quite easily and should be done rather than burden the voter with notification<<
Every registration should include a valid social security number. All that would be needed then is for each precinct to compare the address tied to that social security number at the Social Security Administration with the address they have on their records.
If their permanent address is not in the precinct, they shouldn’t be registered there. College students should either change their permanent address or vote in their home precincts.
And illegals shouldn’t have social security numbers, an added bonus to this approach. If they can’t provide one, they can’t register to vote. If they provide a bogus one, the above-described check with SSA would uncover the fraud.
Amazing what a motivated ‘journalist’can find!
>>I believe you should vote in districts where you own property. <<
Absolutely not. If you live there, yes, but not just if you own a piece of property in the precinct.
The reason is that such property owners don’t care about the quality of services they don’t use, especially schools, but also police presence, garbage collection, etc. In areas with a lot of absentee property owners, local services would surely suffer.
If you buy property where you don’t live, you are simply accepting the fact that those living in the area are setting your tax rate.
Now, if they start to charge you more than they charge themselves, that’s another matter entirely.
>>Good on Trump for making this whole thing an issue<<
Exactly. The press has now unwittingly exposed a flaw in the system and did it by checking only a very few people, the Trump family.
As for those of you who’ve moved and never de-registered (which is most of us who’ve moved, I suspect), have you ever wondered if your vote is being cast back in those vacated precincts anyway?
And guess which party your old vote is now being cast for?
>>Here in Nevada if I miss a Federal Election, I have to reregister for the next.<<
That’s probably in there so they know whether they can use your old registration to vote for the Dem candidate.
If you re-register, they’re alerted that you’re still around to vote yourself. If you don’t, Harry Reid will see to it that you vote anyway.
>>Perhaps we can expand Motor Voter. When you move from location A to location B, you have to get a new drivers license...<<
Social Security would be a far better database to use. When you move, you always notify SS of your new permanent address. And guess what, if you’re an illegal alien, you don’t have a valid SS number. Two birds with one stone.
>>And it’s just as ridiculous to think that someone would actually vote in Michigan then hurry home to Texas and vote there...........Sheesh! <<
If you don’t think some Dems living in Florida half the year and NY the other half don’t vote in person in the one they’re living during the election, and by absentee ballot in the other, I have a number of bridges to sell you.
Try all 57 of them............

Not particularly newsworthy. However, I does demonstrate that voters can be in multiple states voter lists without their actually applying for a voting registration.
In Tiffany’s case, is this an example of automatic registration of college students without their actually applying?
By his dour expression this is NOT what Wolfie Blister wanted to hear.
Many state election commissions don't bother to do the notifications in accordance with the law.....or they aren't efficient enough to do the notifications in timely manners.
So, Miss Tiffany Trump has done nothing wrong...and it's just more fake-you news emanating from the unhinged anti-Trump enemedia channels.
Leni
So I did what most sane people do, which I didn't have to do, Utah to PA is roughly 1500 miles apart, but I removed my name from the PA rolls...
Tiffany didn't vote in PA, she voted in NY...so trying to stab President Trump again just isn't going to work, when will they learn, they are making bigger fools of themselves than they already are...
And Leni, I love your ‘bull dog’ ways!!!
Shoot, I’m probably still registered in California and I haven’t lived there for 14 years.<<
California???...lol...You might want to check...You’ve probably been voting faithfully for 14 years in Cali without even knowing it!!.....you may be subject to arrest
