There are about 46,000 people who live and vote in New York City who are also registered to vote in Florida. Most of them don't vote twice, of course, but it seems there is little or no impediment to their doing so. It is very difficult for one state to cross-check voting records with another. The breakdown on these people, according to the New York Daily News is thus:
Of the 46,000 registered in both states, 68% are Democrats, 12% are Republicans and 16% didn't claim a party.
Nearly 1,700 of those registered in both states requested that absentee ballots be mailed to their home in the other state, where they are also registered. But that doesn't raise red flags with officials in either place.
We need to find a way to limit voters to one ballot per person. Voter fraud is one more distraction we don't need this year. This election is too important.
