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.
I wonder if someone voted as you the last 14 years...
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.
Y'know, you're probably right. I certainly didn't take any action to cancel my registration to vote in Louisiana when I moved to Washington. Didn't even think about it. Given the mobility of US citizens, I suspect there are a large number of people with multiple registrations.
But this does open the possibility of voting in more than one state. I doubt that Washington contacted Louisiana when I established domicile here. Maybe that should be required. It could be a federal requirement, as it is an interstate commerce activity.
When I move to another state, I never think of going to the Board of Elections and ask that my name be removed. The thought never occurs to me.
Does the burden fall upon the Board of Elections to set up a way to verify that the person resides in the state? “Let us see your drivers license”. We ALL go to Motor Vehicles when we relocate. My former state driver’s license become invalid. Is it legal to own driver’s license for multiple states?

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.

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
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.
