President Trump originally tried to register to vote in Florida while claiming his legal residence was in another part of the country Washington, D.C. according to Florida elections records.
The September 2019 registration application listed Trumps legal residence as 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, the location of the White House. That created a potential problem for Trump: Florida law requires voters to be legal residents of the state. A month later, Trump resubmitted his application to use a Florida address and in March he voted by mail in Floridas Republican primary.
The revisions complicate Trumps own record as a voter at a time when the president has made unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud in mail-in balloting.
Trumps original voter-registration application, which was obtained by The Washington Post via a public records request, was filed during a time when the president was making a highly publicized move to change his permanent residence from his Manhattan penthouse to Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach, Fla.

He's probably trying another tax fraud.

is so clueless about the voting process that he thought that would work. No problem here.
