residency fraud.

Courtesy of OHarrow and Boburg at the Washington Post. Trumps chief
strategist Steve Bannon, a white nationalist who has repeatedly pushed
false claims of massive voter fraud by minorities voting in
jurisdictions where they do not actually live, is now the subject of an
active criminal investigation in Florida, centering on Bannons
€œresidency€� and €œqualifi[cations] to vote in the state€�:

The Post learned that state prosecutors in Miami have an active
investigation into Bannons assertions that he was a Florida resident
and qualified to vote in the state from 2014 to 2016. In late August,
investigators subpoenaed Bannons lease of a Coconut Grove home and
other documents. They also contacted the landlords of that home and
another that Bannon leased nearby, and sought information from a
gardener and handyman who worked at one of the homes, according to
documents and interviews.
The problem for Mr. Bannon is that it seems he may have actually been
living in California (or possibly in Washington, or New York, but
definitely not Florida):

[Bannon] owned a house and condo in Southern California, where he had
entertainment and consulting businesses, a drivers license and a
checking account. He claimed Florida as his residence, registering to
vote in Miami and telling authorities he lived at the same address as
his third ex-wife€¦.

He did not get a Florida drivers license or register a car in the
state. He never voted in Florida, and neighbors near two homes he leased
in Miami said they never saw him. His rent and utility bills were sent
to his business manager in California.
Even if the Florida investigation comes up empty, the story might not be
over. There is significant speculation, previously reported in an August
2016 Guardian story (and re-upped by the Post article) that he may have
been trying to avoid California taxes.

Dear Attorney General Becerra: this seems worth taking a look at,
doesnt it?

So you want to investigate Bannon for never voting in Florida? That's a
novel approach.

well the (t)rump made a big deal about having two registrations in
different states, but I'd think it would be the hit of the summer to see
bannon get investigated in California for tax evasion
