Just in: That Minneapolis cop illegally voted in Florida elections in 2016 and 2018, a third degree felony.

Link to tweet

This hasn't shown up on the news yet, but I'm sure it will soon.

I guess this cop is a "career criminal"!

[leftieNanner]

1. Why didn't he use 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

as his permanent address? Like Ass Face did when he registered to vote in Florida.

[MontanaMama]

43. Along that line of thinking...

Maybe he should have listed MF45's ample orange ass as his permanent address...he's got his head stuck up there anyway.

[DURHAM D]

2. Has anyone checked to see if he voted in Minnesota as well? nt

[Cracklin Charlie]

15. My question, too.

Did he vote republican twice?

[LeftInTX]

21. My first question

It's fraud if he voted in both.

[BadgerMom]

38. And if he did, I'd love to know if any fellow officers did as well.

[roamer65]

3. Repukes like voter fraud and electoral fraud.

That’s how they steal office.

[lostnfound]

36. I guess they knew about rampant voter fraud because they were committing it.

They think everyone is as guilty as they are?
Can’t follow a set of principles?

[sheshe2]

4. Such a stellar, guy.

Lock him up forever.

[JudyM]

5. I remain convinced this guy is part of an underground network, and that he's not the only one

voting in FL... betting folks in the network have been tipped off that they could do this, since fla wins are crucial to rethugs.

I believe he’s part of a supremacist-type online network because his hands-in-pockets, knee on throat longer than it needed to be, almost posing for the camera attitude seemed like a performace... the question is only: for whom? He was undoubtedly getting some social rewards for his casual depravity in bringing down a big (handcuffed) black dude.

[tblue37]

9. Probably showing off for the newbies he was training. nt

[Cracklin Charlie]

16. I think Mr. Floyd was targeted.

The whole thing reeks.

[George II]

18. I think so, too. That was a minor crime if he really did it. His only real criminal record....

...goes back to 2005, fifteen years ago.

Remember, he and the cop both worked as bouncers at the same nightclub. Bad blood perhaps?

[Cracklin Charlie]

19. I've been thinking...

Mr. Floyd knew too much, or saw something he wasn’t supposed to see.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

41. My thoughts exactly when I read they had cross paths at the club...

... Floyd had seen something or knew something. Or the gal that Chauvin was jonesing for went home with Floyd.

[Scruffy1]

79. I've been thinking the same thing since day one.

IMHO the MPD runs a huge extortion racket under the guise of working part time security. There are plenty of good qualified private security people who work for a lot less than the $50 to $75 they charge per hour. Many of them make more on their part time jobs than rookies do on their salary. It makes no sense to me unless extortion is involved. To get these jobs you have to one of the "boys" and they are doled out by people like Chauvin. I'm thinking he owns or rents a property in Florida. Reminds me of a resort area I lived in in Wisconsin. Chicago cops built lots of lake homes in the area. Nice ones, not cabins. It was generally understood they were on the take and needed someplace to put their money in that was out of sight.

[LiberalArkie]

27. I personally believe he is involved in counterfeiting at least $20 bills.

[JudyM]

57. How so?

[LiberalArkie]

58. That is what started it.. A radio call about a $20 bill. Most people will just give the store clerk

another $20. He did not. He waited. A police car came buy and picked him up, handcuffed him and put him in the back seat. Chauvin came by and pulled him out of the first car and dragged him over to his car to precede to kill him.

Chauvin did not get the call. You can watch the entire video of where he was standing up against the wall, handcuffed and then placed into the car.

[JudyM]

60. Right, I saw that, but are you suggesting death-cop was counterfeiting?

Thought that was who you meant by “he.”

[LiberalArkie]

61. I think Chauvin was or was protecting the people who are. The dead guy got a bill accidentally

passed to him and knew who gave it to him.

BTW the dead guy wanted to be a supreme court judge as a kid

[JudyM]

62. Interesting theory.

George Floyd may end up impacting the country as much as he would’ve as a supreme ct justice

[LiberalArkie]

63. Yea, may end up bringing a lot of change.

[oasis]

52. Seems the ATF Good Ol' Boys Roundup, mentality of the 90's has festered

and grown into a secret society of ultra right racist cops.

[lpbk2713]

6. " ... as a registered Republican."

Hooda guessed it?

[malaise]

8. But evidence is nice

[flibbitygiblets]

24. Virtually every Republican talking point about voter fraud turns out to be projection

Including BLOTUS, who votes from Florida, despite that Magat-Lago is not allowed to be used as a residence.

[malaise]

25. +1,000

The truth

[OhNo-Really]

70. Ms mcenenny Also broke the Florida voting law. How many refuge do this?

[Ilsa]

7. Did he also vote in Minnesota?

It would be great to see him cited for voter fraud.

[George II]

10. To be honest he can only be cited in one state, not both. But let's hope they get him on that...

...although Florida officials probably won't press it.

[Baltimike]

65. then Minnesota should. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

66. May be the old "pick your state" effort I remember from years ago

example: You live in Massachusetts and vote in a swing state that needs your vote.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Question,

do we know if Chauvin was being paid via 1099? That would cause all kinds of issues for this POS.

Had a childhood friend who worked for the majority Power Company in MPLS and used a 1099 scam and claimed Residency in South Dakota as well a Voter Registration . When he sold his house in St Peter,well the Tax Man came to collect. And it was not a cheap bill to pay,plus he is still serving probation till next January.

Remember,when one sells their Primary Residence,those IRS as well as State Tax forms do mean something.

[LiberalArkie]

28. Probably cash money from the club

[Wellstone ruled]

30. No income Tax in Sodak or Florida.

1099's can burn one big time,if you do not keep it clean. Especially if your income is under a certain ceiling.

[LiberalArkie]

31. But their employer is supposed to take out SS and Medicare and Federal. Pay cash and everyone keeps

more money.

[whopis01]

73. That's not how 1099 income works.

If you are paid via 1099, then you are an independent contractor, not an employee. The entity you work for has no obligation (or right) to withhold taxes in that case.

[LiberalArkie]

74. You are so correct about the 1099 as it tells the IRS that you had income.

But down here people bring in a lot of money, cash money, without a 1099. Mowing yards, cleaning up yards, home repair, car repairs., All sorts of work. They only take cash or a check. Never reported to anyone.

That is what I was thinking of.

[whopis01]

75. Ok - sure. Maybe I misunderstood the subthread here

Wellstone_ruled was talking about whether or not he was paid via 1099, and you said "But their employer is supposed to take out SS and Medicare and Federal". I was just pointing out that was not the case with 1099 income.

Like I said, maybe I misunderstood what was being discussed.

[George II]

12. Incidentally, as recently as 2017 Tiffany Trump was registered to vote in Philadelphia and NYC....

...and I believe she was living in California.

https://www.today.com/news/kellyanne-conway-donald-trump-s-daughter-tiffany-isn-t-registered-t107422

Tiffany Trump on voter rolls in 2 states, despite claims otherwise by Kellyanne Conway

Just one day after President Donald Trump said he would ask for a "major investigation" into his unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway pushed back on proof that shows the president's youngest daughter on voter registration rolls in two states.

Tiffany Trump is currently registered in both New York City and Philadelphia, according to state election records in New York and Pennsylvania. Trump was a student at the University of Pennsylvania until her graduation last May.

Conway disputed the findings during an interview Thursday on TODAY.

"I talked last night to Tiffany Trump, and she said it is flatly false that she is registered in two states," she said.

[this article has screen shots of her registration in both states!]

[soothsayer]

17. Donald doesn't know her

But has heard some things, very bad things, about her.

[stopdiggin]

76. registration following a move

should void previous registrations .. but often does not. Technically (depending on the state) you might be legally required to "un-register" at your former .. but, again, almost nobody ever does. A should have some way of knowing what B is doing .. but, as in all things bureaucratic, that would require .. you know .. like time and effort. And that is why "voter rolls" are almost notoriously inaccurate.

[Hortensis]

13. Relatively almost no voter fraud, and almost all discovered Republican.

Such a surprise.

[lagomorph777]

14. Let me guess which party benefited from his voter fraud?

[csziggy]

20. More information about his home near Windermere, Florida

Small Florida Town Finds Itself in Middle of George Floyd Story After Cop Revealed to Have Second Home Nearby
By Sarah RumpfMay 29th, 2020, 12:54 pm

The small Central Florida town of Windermere found itself thrown into national headlines this week when it was reported that Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer who was seen on video with his knee on the neck of George Floyd before he died, has a second home with a Windermere address. But Chauvin doesn’t actually live in the town.

Windermere is a very small town in western Orange County, nestled on an isthmus spanning the Butler Chain of Lakes, comprised of 3,800 people living within 2.2 square miles. It’s so small you might blink and miss it as you drove through, if not for the infamously restrictive speed limits (Windermere Police are well-known by locals for issuing tickets for driving even one or two miles over the posted limits) that slow you down enough to appreciate the quaint shops and Spanish moss-draped oak trees along Main Street. The main residential areas still feature dirt roads and short wooden posts for street signs.

<SNIP>

There are valid debates occurring in many cities about issues that may arise when law enforcement officers are not a part of the communities they are policing. In Chauvin’s case, he may not live within the town of Windermere, but he has viewed himself as enough of a Florida resident to vote in recent elections.

I confirmed Friday with Nicholas Shannin, the attorney for the Orange County Supervisor of Elections office, that a Derek Michael Chauvin with the Windermere address posted online voted in the 2016 and 2018 general elections in Florida. Voting records provided by Shannin indicate that Chauvin voted early in both elections, meaning that he was physically present in Orange County to cast his vote at an early voting location (usually at centrally located public facilities like libraries).

My sister used to live in the town of Windermere. For years now, she has lived outside of the town in Orange County, but still has a Windermere address. While some homes in the area are multi-million dollar mansions, many are more modest homes, and some are low cost townhouses.

Chavin's residence is questionable - according to his personnel records, he has worked for the Minneapolis Police Department since 2001:

Minneapolis police release Derek Chauvin’s personnel records, offering a few more details

By Staff and wire reports |
PUBLISHED: June 3, 2020 at 5:46 a.m. | UPDATED: June 3, 2020 at 6:21 a.m.

The Minneapolis Police Department on Tuesday released personnel records for Derek Chauvin, the now-fired officer accused of killing George Floyd, a black man whose death has sparked protest nationwide.

The records provide some insight into Chauvin’s background, starting as a military police officer with the U.S. Army from September 1996 to February 1997 and again from September 1999 to May 2000.
Derek Chauvin

However, the records included little detail about the 17 times Chauvin was the subject of internal affairs investigations by the Minneapolis department.

Chauvin, who had worked with the Police Department since October 2001, had been disciplined for only one incident during his tenure. It occurred in August 2007 in Longfellow, a neighborhood just south of downtown Minneapolis. Chauvin was accused of pulling a woman out of her car after stopping her for going 10 mph over the speed limit. The woman filed the complaint the next day.

Unless he was only working for MPD for a few months a year, how did he establish residency to vote in Florida in 2016 and 2018?

[grantcart]

23. Guessing he voted twice, by mail.

[LeftInTX]

32. Who knows???

Sounds like you really don't need to establish residency. Trump is registered there and I doubt he has a FL driver's license. He does own a home.

Was Chauvin from FL originally?

From FL SOS:
Submit your valid Florida driver's license number or Florida identification card number. If you do not have either of these, you must provide the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you have not been issued a Florida driver's license number, Florida identification card number or social security number, you must write "none".

All he needs is:
Line 5 SSN
Line 7 xxxxxx st, somewhere in Florida
Linda 8 somewhere in Minnesota.

This is legal in Texas too.
This most important thing is that he did not vote in Minnesota.

Will need to look up FL statute. Sometimes people are registered in two states, which isn't criminal until they vote in both states. My son was registered in both NY and TX. He went to school in NY and voted up there. Now he's back here and voting in TX. He didn't vote in both states at the same time, but he didn't cancel his TX registration while he was in NY. Usually the penalty for this, is cancellation of a registration and you need to re-register.

Having a mailing address different than residence address is very common. My dad was in the military and was registered from Wisconsin, although he left WI 1949 and used his parents address and voted out of state until 1969. Lots of people do this.

https://www.myfloridaelections.com/portals/fsase/Documents/Voter%20Reg%20Apps/FL_Voter_Reg_App_DS-DE-39_111816.pdf

ETA: Here is the Statute: (2)?A person who willfully submits any false voter registration information commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided

An attorney can say someone is breaking the law, when they really aren't breaking the law.

Aaahhh. The attorney is running for Board of Elections in Pinellas County...

[A HERETIC I AM]

34. THIS!

There was some reporting (subsequently proven incorrect) that he fled to his place in Windermere the day after the vid went viral. I'll bet it crossed his mind though.

He is clearly a serial asshole of the Nth degree.

[Blue_true]

48. I believe the Golfer Tiger Woods used to live in or near Windemere.

That was before his former wife demonstrated her utility with a 9-Iron to him.

[niyad]

51. Unless there was another such incident (and we do know that there were at least 12 citizen complaint

about this murdering thug) the woman being pulled out of her car was discussed here yesterday. Thug and his fellow officer pulled the woman from her car, shoved her in their patrol car, never said a word to her. Her infant and dog were left unattended in her car. In August.

[lostnfound]

55. Omg his credit cards, phone, birthdate, SSN all online

Even the CVV and expiration number.
Omg.

[Sancho]

22. He just followed the example of MF45...

...what's the problem??

[LiberalFighter]

26. They should check to see if that Kroll did it too.

[lame54]

29. Did he vote in Minnesota too?

[iluvtennis]

33. the hits keep coming

[BlueIdaho]

35. Can a convicted felon become a cop?

Asking for a friend.

[onethatcares]

68. and own a firearm?

different friend asking.

[Evolve Dammit]

37. There's some voter fraud..

[Lonestarblue]

39. Trump also is committing voter fraud.

He has registered to vote in Florida, but his residence is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, DC. The terms to allow Mar-a-Lago to become a club prevent it from being used as a permanent residence. In reality, Trump is only supposed to live there no more than two weeks a year, which he has violated with his numerous trips, but how is it legal for him to vote in Florida when he has no address there.

[11 Bravo]

40. Perhaps he and Lard Butt can share a cell.

[lpbk2713]

42. IOKIYAR

(D)s would get jail time.

[progree]

44. A May 29 AP story mentioned it.

https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/05/29/charged-exmpls-cop-used-overkill-tactics-as-nightclub-guard

but mentioned it only at the bottom of the article. And didn't make any mention of the probable illegality of that:

On Friday, protesters gathered in front of another Chauvin home in Windermere, Fla., which he has owned since 2011 with his wife, Kellie, a Laotian refugee, realtor and former Mrs. Minnesota pageant winner.

Both Chauvin and his wife have registered to vote there, rather than in Minnesota, records show. Chauvin last cast a ballot in Florida in November 2018. His wife’s registration is listed as inactive. Both are Republicans.

[R B Garr]

45. Wow!

A whole corrupt network being unearthed! This is just stunning.

[SunSeeker]

46. K & R for exposure.

[orleans]

47. gasp! donald trump is right! people are committing voter fraud

1. donald trump
2. derek chauvin

[Blue_true]

49. My guess. There likely are more police officers doing this,

especially the ones who consider themselves republicans, which would be most of them.

I honestly don't think that the issue is just voting, my guess is there is some type of tax fraud going on also.

All states need to cross-reference their state, county and local police officers with the voter roles in no income tax states like Florida. My belief is that a lot will be unearthed.

[BComplex]

50. I wonder how many people that vote red in florida every election actually DON'T live or work there.

Last edited Sat Jun 6, 2020, 12:20 PM - Edit history (1)

Now I would like to see if he ALSO voted in Minneapolis!

[onethatcares]

69. used to be

once you got a job or put your kids in school you had to surrender your car tags and get Floriduh plates. The police used to drive through corporate parking lots and check on cars that were there longer than two days.

At that time you also had to affirm a "Declaration of Domicile" saying you gave up your residency rights in a different state.

Currently it costs about $400.00 to change plates from E Bumfark SoDak to Floriduh. I don't see a rush on plate changes though.

[Wounded Bear]

53. Oops! nt

[mcar]

54. He needs to be charged with voter fraud

Funny how the Republicans scream about it being so bad while they are doing it.

[rockfordfile]

56. If true, then yes he should be

[BComplex]

72. But that's republicans: everything they accuse someone else of is what they themselves are guilty of

The Grand Ole PROJECTION party.

[Blue Owl]

59. Every case of voter fraud I've heard about in the last month is by a REPUBLICAN

[Ollie Garkie]

64. Yep.

Even the one person I know personally who I suspect is commiting voter fraud is a wealthy Republican. Interesting pattern indeed.

[d_b]

67. makes you wonder

how many other nazi shitheel cops do this

[cannabis_flower]

71. Is he sure it's the same Derek Chauven?

I know it's not a real common name but my daughter has an uncommon name but found out that there were 6 others with the same name on Facebook.

[stopdiggin]

77. true. hope someone was looking for more

identifiers than just a name. This appears to be from a private (not official) source? I'd like to think that this was properly vetted, but .. you know .. internet .. people play games.

Edit: Chauvin does own property in FL, and apparently voted there in the last two generals 2016-18. Now the question would be .. is his FL residency (for voting purposes) legal?

Orlando Sentinel, June 5 -- A search of Chauvin’s voter status in Florida shows he registered to vote Republican in Orange County at his Windermere-area address in January 2016. His registration is active. Election records show he voted in the 2016 and 2018 general elections.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

78. He has to be part of a network doing this.

Who can investigate in Congress? DOJ is complicit.
