States *already* have procedures to remove people from the rolls.

That's no reason to remove them from the rolls. Donnie and the Feds don't need to be stomping around on this non-issue, and they should be fought for trying to do so. Voting should be easier, not more difficult. Cheers, Scott.

(CNN)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. CNN's KFile has also confirmed that before Wednesday morning, Steve Bannon, Trump's chief strategist and senior counselor, was registered to vote in both New York City as well as in Sarasota County, Florida. Since then, the supervisor of elections for Sarasota County said that Bannon was removed from the voting rolls on Wednesday after his office received confirmation from the city of New York that Bannon was registered to vote there too. Bannon's registration status was first reported by the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/25/politics/kfile-mnuchin-voter-registration/index.html Let's don Donnie Tiny Hands thinking cap and conclude that means Hillary's win in the popular vote just notched up by two. (Yeah, I know. I said use Donnie's thinking ;0) bcnu, Mikem Social Media is for Sociopaths.

There was nothing nefarious about it on the voter's part - you moved and reregistered. I never assumed that I had to let the previous voting location know - I assumed they would take care of it (but they probably never did because it takes time and money to do so and there's no benefit in it). I only found out about it by accident (I don't recall how). It never occurred to me to try to vote multiple times. It's illegal, of course. Similarly, I've never notified my previous state's board of elections that I moved. I assumed the new state would take care of it. Now this was 20+ years ago. Maybe things are different now. It's hard enough to get someone to vote once. Who (except a tiny, tiny fringe) is going to even bother to try to vote twice? But to your point, yes. The actual cases of in-person double-voting or other types of fraud almost invariably seem to be done by Republicans. Cheers, Scott.
