Walker’s wife voted in Georgia as couple lives in Texas, records show

Potential Republican U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker and his wife live in Texas, but she voted in Georgia’s election for president last fall.

The absentee ballot cast by Julie Blanchard raises questions about whether she was allowed to vote in Georgia while living in Texas. It’s illegal for nonresidents to vote in Georgia in most circumstances.

The questionable vote could undercut one of Walker’s main talking points if he enters the race against Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, who is up for a full term in November 2022.

Walker has called for prosecutions of voter fraud, even though there’s no evidence of rampant abuse. And he’s promoted other false claims of voting irregularities by former President Donald Trump, who has encouraged him to enter the race.

1. If he lives in Texas , how can he run in Georgia? This is fucked up.

8. I don't think that a big thing anymore

Cheney moved to Wyoming. Clinton moved to New York. In today’s transient world, it has changed even the election runs.

10. He needs to start packing, then.

3. I was talking to one of the gas drillers recently.

They are from Lousiana work in Ohio and use a PO box in Florida as their residence because they have no income tax. Didn't want to get into politics but where the hell do they vote and how many times? They are all Trump people.

4. I have always wondered how well they are able to check that "snowbirds" don't vote twice.

My experience is that a lot of them are Republicans (at least here
in the Midwest).

5. I have always wondered about that one myself.

You spend 6 months plus one day in Florida they can declare residence in Florida. Does anyone check where or how many times they vote? Like the driller, he has a home in Louisiana, a RV in Ohio and a PO box in Florida that he claims as a resedence?

6. He has about as much of a chance as Kanye West did.

He'll be dropping out soon.

7. I agree with Walker; prosecute voter fraud. Starting with Mrs. Walker.

9. Herschel is toast from the get-go. Who's going to fund that dimwit?
