Donald Trump's nominee to head the Treasury department, Steven Mnuchin, is registered to vote in two states, a CNN KFile review of paperwork obtained through open records requests in New York and California show.

While it is illegal to cast ballots in multiple states, it is not illegal to be registered in two states at the same time. In a tweet Wednesday, the president called for an investigation into voter fraud, including whether citizens are registered to vote in two states.

"I will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and even, those registered to vote who are dead (and many for a long time). Depending on results, we will strengthen up voting procedure," the president wrote in a pair of consecutive tweets.

What an embarassing backlash this is becoming...

[DURHAM D]

1. I am pretty sure I am registered in two states.

It is what happens when you move.

[LiberalFighter]

4. You should be able to have the other registration cancelled.

[pnwmom]

9. Few people make the effort. Nothing happens automatically. n/t

[Bohunk68]

11. It does in New York State.

My love died, and a week later was off the voting lists. They are continuously updated. I am an election inspector and know this to be true. The newspapers are monitored for death notices.

[pnwmom]

12. What about when you move? Are they following you around, making sure

you don't register in another location?

Death notices are public information.

[LisaL]

13. It's not illegal to be registered in more than one state as long as you don't vote in more than one

state.

[pnwmom]

14. Right.. And as I said, there is no automatic process for un-registering

so most people probably don't do that.

[DURHAM D]

10. Why would I care?

It will be purged at some point. Different states have different cleanup schedules.

2. Tiffany Trump is also registered in 2 states

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.

“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.”

3. Trump found one illegal ........ only 4,999,999 to go

5. Steve Bannon was also registered in two states

6. Seems Kris Kobachs' Cross-Check system only catches names like Garcia

FYI: Cross-check has led to the purging of tens of thousands of legit voters in states across the country. None named Bannon.

7. Crosscheck didn't catch Bannon, Trump, or Mnuchin? Gee - that's a shocker.

8. Trump will probably put Kris Kobach in charge of a new voter check system

"The man behind crosscheck is Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Yale-educated former law professor. After 9/11, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft tasked Kobach with creating a system to track foreign travelers. (It was later shut down over concerns about racial profiling.) He is best known as the author of Arizona's "Driving While Brown Law," which allowed cops to pull over drivers and ask for proof of their legal status. He co-wrote the ultraconservative 2016 RNC party platform, working in a recommendation that Crosscheck be adopted by every state in the Union. He's also the Trump adviser who came up with a proposal to force Mexico into paying for Trump's wall"

Even though he missed getting picked for the Head of Homeland Security, he's still in the running for an Administration post:

15. If only...

Good to know, though if only this had been the one egregious mistake that Mr. Mnunchin has ever made - it is not...

[napi21]

16. The Con's daughter Tiffany is also registered in two states! Dumbass doesn't know how things work

People move, people die, and top on their list of things to do is NOT notifying the voter registrar. It's up to the States ti update their voter rolls periodically, and they do. There's just a period of time when they are listed on two.

17. No wonder Trump thinks this is an epidemic. Every rich person he knows or is related to

is registered twice.
If it's a problem it's a rich white privilege problem.

[Thomthom5300]

18. So did any Trumps vote more than once?

that would be embarrassing
