TOPLINE When President Donald Trump officially changed his residency from New York to Florida in Sept. 2019, he submitted a voter registration application listing his legal residence in Washington D.C., according to a report, even though Florida requires voters to be legal residents of the state.
KEY FACTS
According to registration records obtained by The Washington Post, Trump gave his legal address as 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW—the address of the White House—in his original application.
Trump resubmitted his application 31 days later, according to the report, using a Florida address, allowing him to vote by mail in the March Republican presidential primary.
In a high-profile move, Trump said last year that he was changing his primary residence from his Manhattan penthouse at Trump Tower to the private Mar-a-Lago club he owns in Palm Beach, Florida, tweeting that he had “been treated very badly by the political leaders of both the city and state” of New York.
It’s unclear if Florida officials may have flagged Trump’s application, the report says, though Florida voter applications contain the warning that applicants may be subject to fines or imprisonment if they do not provide truthful information.
