Trump Treasury pick registered to vote two states
President Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary, Steve Mnuchin, is registered to vote in both New York and California, CNN reported Wednesday amid new concerns from the administration about redundant voters on ballot rolls.
Mnuchin, a hedge fund manager, reportedly has homes in both states, though voting records show he last voted at his New York address in 2008.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported that Chief White House Strategist Steve Bannon was also registered to vote in two states – New York and Florida.

The revelation comes hours after Trump tweeted that he will launch an investigation of voter fraud in the U.S. Trump told Congressional leaders earlier this week that he lost the popular vote in the 2016 presidential election because of rampant voter fraud by “illegals.”
I will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and….

even, those registered to vote who are dead (and many for a long time). Depending on results, we will strengthen up voting procedures!

There is no currently no evidence to suggest that millions of people voted illegally as the president has claimed.
