Analysis: For the second time in less than a month, a prominent member of the Trump administration has been revealed to have voted in a way that might be illegal.
It’s also illegal to vote in separate jurisdictions “for an election to the same candidacy or office.”
While it’s illegal to vote twice in the same election, it’s not totally clear that presidential primaries in separate states are considered the same election. The AP interviewed experts who suggest it might not have been illegal:Not everyone agrees Mowers’ double-voting is a clear-cut case of voter fraud. For starters, it’s an undeveloped area of law.
Charlie Spies, a longtime Republican election lawyer who contacted the AP at the request of Mowers’ campaign, called the matter “silly.” He said the double-voting was “at worst a gray area” of the law and “not the sort of issue anybody would spend time on.”
