Trump's voter fraud expert registered in 3 states: AP
Source: Chicago Tribune
A man who President Donald Trump has promoted as an authority on voter fraud was registered to vote in multiple states during the 2016 presidential election, the Associated Press has learned.
Gregg Phillips, whose unsubstantiated claim that the election was marred by 3 million illegal votes was tweeted by the president, was listed on the rolls in Alabama, Texas and Mississippi, according to voting records and election officials in those states. He voted only in Alabama in November, records show.
In a post earlier this month, Phillips described "an amazing effort" by volunteers tied to True the Vote, an organization whose board he sits on, who he said found "thousands of duplicate records and registrations of dead people."
Trump has made an issue of people who are registered to vote in more than one state, using it as one of the bedrocks of his overall contention that voter fraud is rampant in the U.S. and that voting by 3 to 5 million immigrants illegally in the country cost him the popular vote in November.

(11,843 posts)because freedum, or something. If they were truly concerned about voter fraud, they would be in favor of a national ID to keep people from voting in multiple states. Typical hypocrites, they want to remain anonymous, in the shadows, but force "others" through registration hoops to discourage voting.

(65,168 posts)Yet, his fundamental basis is registrations in more than one state and dead people.
Then he's one of those with registrations in more than one place. And there's no evidence of dead people's names being used by others to vote.

(45,528 posts)This is going to be used against us. Democratic voters are going to get Trumped at the polls.
ProfessorGAC
(65,168 posts)He has multiple registrations. He only voted in one place. It's obviously easy to find out where the person voted. So, it's on them to prove that those people registered in more than one state actually exercised that right in more than one state.
They won't be able to do it. Of course, they never could and knew it. It's a smoke and mirrors job.

(46,345 posts)Well, it's on the Internets, so it has to be TRUE, right? /s
Seriously, this guy sounds like a wack job conspiracy theorist, hence his constant refusals to actually show the "evidence" he brags about.
