SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — 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."

Trump has made an issue of people who are registered to vote in more than one state, using it as one of the bedrocks of his overall contention that voter fraud is rampant in the U.S. and that voting by 3 to 5 million immigrants illegally in the country cost him the popular vote in November.

The AP found that Phillips was registered in Alabama and Texas under the name Gregg Allen Phillips, with the identical Social Security number. Mississippi records list him under the name Gregg A. Phillips, and that record includes the final four digits of Phillips' Social Security number, his correct date of birth and a prior address matching one once attached to Gregg Allen Phillips. He has lived in all three states.

1. I'm probably registered in 4 or more, unless someone periodically purges the rolls and requires

people to stay current.

[redwitch]

2. As long as you don't vote in more than one of them

you are good. Honestly people move all the time and I don't think they call the board of elections to have their names removed.

[braddy]

4. That is why I don't get all the threads on people being registered in multiple states, to me this

is making an argument for tighter laws on the system of voting.

[LisaL]

11. Because Trump specifically mentioned people who are registered in multiple states when he was making

his allegations of voter fraud.

[braddy]

13. It sounds like another one of his traps, this issue reminds millions of us who move a lot, that

there isn't much of a system of control in place.

[yardwork]

12. We're pointing out the hypocrisy of the Republicans on this issue.

You gotta have special talents to star in "Gubmint Apprentice".

7. The apologists amaze me. Or maybe I should be

angry at dt for thinking this guy was qualified. I'm thinking if you're such an expert, you'd better be squeaky clean. But not in this new world.

8. Well, it's only logical!

What better way to become an expert, than to actually do it? You can read and study all day, but unless you get out there and actually get 'hands-on', it's all theory!

9. Kick and Rec

10. I take note that none of those states were California

Look like votes in Alabama, Texas and Mississippi are likely fraudulent.

14. Figures

15. Saw Gregg Phillips interviewed and he is an absolute idiot

Loved seeing this news about multiple state registrations

16. I don't understand what you issue is...

Trump's argument has been that, as someone who learned to game the tax system, he's the perfect person to fix it...

17. Finally, DFT has chosen...

...someone with experience relevant to the job to which he has been appointed.
