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."
The Houston-based True the Vote has challenged the validity of voter rolls in numerous states. On Friday, Phillips tweeted that the conservative group "will lead the analysis" of widespread voter fraud, and suggested in a CNN interview that it might release the underlying data in a few months.
Shortly after Phillips appeared on CNN on Friday, Trump tweeted: "Look forward to seeing the final results of VoteStand. Gregg Phillips and crew say at least 3,000,000 votes were illegal. We must do better!"

If I had to hazard a guess, he’s lived in each of those three states and those states failed to remove his name from the voter rolls when he moved out.
I have no doubt I’m registered in two states. NY & NJ. I only vote in one. None issue.
So AP...
Doesn’t that make him a perfect authority on the matter?
Aren’t you not, in fact, proving his case?
Stupid liberal arts twit reporters...
So you’re saying he’s proved his point? That election rolls need to be cleaned up?
Lets see how many who are register in more than one place actually voted in more than one place now...
According to his job history on linkedin he hasn’t lived in Alabama in twenty years and Mississippi for at least ten years.

I believe I may be registered in at least 4, but have never voted in more than one at a time. This is proof that voter ID laws are necessary.
Unless he voted in more than one place, no issue.
I bet that’s exactly what happened. The question is, how many times did he vote? That’s what matters.
Gee AP, how about voting in two countries?
The AP is helping.
Time for voter registration rolls to be updated annually.
I’m sure I am registered in two states.
Voter I.D. will fix it.
Who can expect the stupid states I’ve lived in to clean up their rolls?
I have been registered in two states at the same time. Probably millions of people are.
This is why purging the voting rolls is so important.
Thanks, AP, for helping to make that point!
When I moved from Florida back home to Georgia, I kept getting political flyers from Florida. I had to write a letter and send it to my former county election board to have my name removed. It’s not automatic. I’m probably still registered in 3 other states.
He long ago should have been purged from Mississippi rolls.
Miss. Code Ann. § 23-15-153
I’ve lived in 4 states during the last 30 years. I registered in each one, and never un-registered. I wonder if I’ve “voted” in those old states even though I have not been there for years.
No problem unless he actually voted in all 3 states
Proof that those states need to clean up their voter data bases
Onward
Alabama continually purges the rolls

Perhaps those states are a little behind in keeping their voter rolls clear. Or, the article is lying.
