<<How many of these 31k democrats voted in FL as well as NY in 2000?<< Probably almost none. When people move from one state to another, I suspect it's very common to register in the new state but not go to the trouble of cancelling the old registration. Just laziness, and there's no penalty for it. One could probably find similar stats for any two states with a lot of population movement. Texas to Nevada, maybe, I dunno.

Registering in two states is not a crime, but voting in two states is obviously illegal. In the article: "But the newspaper found that between 400 and 1,000 registered voters voted twice in at least one election, a federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine." I'm all for punishing people that vote twice. We also have this story today (GOP scandal in Ohio): GOP Hopes Local Turmoil Won't Hurt Bush washingtonpost.com Everyone (except Bush <G>) wants a fair election.
