Trump Should Start With His Own Family If He Plans to Investigate "Voter Fraud"

Update: According to a report from the Washington Post, Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, is also registered to vote in two states: New York and New Jersey.

Original story: Despite winning the electoral college, President Donald Trump is apparently still perturbed that he lost the popular vote — so perturbed that he plans to launch an investigation into baseless voter fraud claims. Unfortunately for Trump, he'll have to start by probing his senior counselor, his secretary of the treasury nominee, and his own daughter.

On Monday, the president posted a tweet confirming his inquiry. "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)," Trump tweeted. "Depending on results, we will strengthen up voting procedure."

While it's an alarming threat to already waning voter rights, Trump's tweets are also hypocritical. Steve Bannon, the president's senior counsel, is registered to vote in New York City as well as Sarasota County, FL, reports The Hill. Trump's nominee for secretary of the treasury, Steve Mnuchin, is also registered to vote in two states: New York and California, according to CNN. And Trump's daughter Tiffany is also registered in Philadelphia and New York, reports the Today Show.

It should be noted that it's not actually illegal to be registered to vote in two states, as the president has intimated. It's only illegal to physically cast a ballot in two states, which Matt Lauer pointed out while interviewing Kellyanne Conway on the Today Show.

Trump's repeated claims that millions of "illegals" voted in the last election has been refuted from leaders of both parties and experts. And yet, he doesn't seem to be letting it go any time soon.
