Donald Trump has made unfounded accusations of widespread voter fraud a centerpiece of his presidency, as well as his reelection campaign. He claimed millions of people voted illegally in 2016, created an inept committee to investigate voter fraud, and now opposes mail-in voting, claiming it’s inherently fraudulent.
Now it appears that the president himself committed voter fraud.
On Wednesday, the Washington Post reported that when Trump registered to vote in Florida, he claimed the White House as his legal residence. On the same day he filled out his voter registration, however, Trump formally declared himself a “bona fide resident” of Palm Beach, the location of his Mar-a-Lago club. The president therefore tried to register to vote under an out-of-state address that is not, in fact, his legal residence.
Under Florida law, providing false information on a voter registration form is a third-degree felony, punishable by five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. As the Washington Post notes, the state has previously targeted individuals for registering under the wrong address. In 2018, Deltona City Manager Jane Shang faced charges for listing City Hall as her residence to avoid disclosure of her home address. She ultimately avoided prison through a deferred prosecution agreement that included a hefty fine and community service. In 1993, a restaurateur was charged with voter fraud and jailed for registering under the wrong address.
Trump corrected his registration 31 days after the initial filing, and he seems to have made an honest mistake. That is no surprise: Most alleged instances of voter fraud arise out of errors committed by either voters or election officials. But Trump’s Justice Department has little sympathy for such mistakes. In 2018, federal prosecutors charged 20 people in North Carolina with voting illegally in the 2016 election....

More Bull Crap from the WaPooPoo nothing fit to read fictional story paper.
White House is currently his legal address. His permanent address is in Florida. Always trying to create a negative narrative.
Morons.
Trump, as Commander in Chief, has all the same rights and privileges of other members of the military.
50 USC 50 4025
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/4025
§4025. Guarantee of residency for military personnel and spouses of military personnel
(a) In general
For the purposes of voting for any Federal office (as defined in section 30101 of title 52) or a State or local office, a person who is absent from a State in compliance with military or naval orders shall not, solely by reason of that absence—
(1) be deemed to have lost a residence or domicile in that State, without regard to whether or not the person intends to return to that State;
(2) be deemed to have acquired a residence or domicile in any other State; or
(3) be deemed to have become a resident in or a resident of any other State.
You can have multiple residences. You just can’t vote in more than one.
Exactly. It’s enemy propaganda and should be regarded as such. The only useful info is to record the name of the enemy of my country i.e. the guy who wrote it.
Unlike the DUmocrats who vote multiple times in multiple places, the President only voted once. Apparently, the people who occupy themselves with such stupidity, as the author of another hit piece has, have the IQ of a tree stump.
More FAKE NEWS.
Deep state in deep shit!
The fakes of the fake news. The Wash Compost has become a complete joke.
They exist to trash Trump and to promote an agenda
Freedom of speech = voter fraud
Stealing elections = mostly peaceful
Still More #ComDem_Insanity projected from the Washington #ComPost!!
The MSM are slinging the mud. The stop the steal effort is bothering them.
That’s now three bad articles back to back about Trump you just posted......sure looks to me like your enjoying posting this crap!
One rule from the leftist playbook is counter accuse regardless if it is true or not.
See my tagline, folks.
JoMa
Well, then, get some glasses. They’re doing this and wasting no time at it. The sooner we’re forewarned, the better we can be forearmed. Or, if you like, you can bury your head in the sand.
Stupid like a fox.
I sure hope so.
“In 2018, federal prosecutors charged 20 people in North Carolina with voting illegally in the 2016 election....”
And in 2020 with undeniable evidence, they are ignoring thousands of multiple voters...
In the good old days people burned down newspaper offices for printing trash like this and strung up the editor.
So you want to go to England just to burn down the Guardian and string up its editor? Will you be visiting England for business or pleasure, sir?
