Derek Chauvin, the 44-year-old Minnesota police officer charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter for his role in the May 25 death of George Floyd, voted illegally in Florida in 2016 and 2018, according to a Florida attorney.

Florida attorney, Dan Helm, who is a candidate for Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections, has requested that Orange County State Attorney Aramis Ayala prosecute Chauvin for violating the state's election laws, a third-degree felony, according to The Star Tribune.

Chauvin has property in Florida and allegedly continued to vote in state elections while living in Minnesota.

If true, this would be no surprise. I've learned that whatever Republicans accuse Democrats of doing, they are likely the ones guilty of it themselves. Would not surprise me at all if this thug committed voter fraud.

So much for saying voter fraud doesn't happen...

****ing idiots.

Yes, as I said, Republicans are always guilty of what they accuse their political opponents of doing. Idiots indeed.

I never said republicans didn't do as such either.

So your attempts at twisting the narrative are novel, but severely wasted.
 
Why are some of us not a bit surprised, I wonder.
 
Curious criminal case. Dual residency in common and allowed in Florida.

The Minneapolis Police Department does not require officers to live within the city limits.
Straight off the MPD website.

Florida law:
1000.21(6). (d) “Legal resident” or “resident” means a person who has maintained his or her residence in this state for the preceding year, has purchased a home which is occupied by him or her as his or her residence, or has established a domicile in this state pursuant to s. 222.17.

So that leads to Florida 222.17. What establishes a "domicile?" And wow is that one a real mess:
Statutes & Constitution

Online Sunshine

IF he has a HOUSE in Florida and IF he didn't vote in Minnesota, he MAY be in the clear. Florida has a million dual residents and is highly favorable to them ("snowbirds"). It seems that if you have a "domicile" in Florida and another state, you MAY be able to claim Florida is your - or one of your - "domiciles" - IF you sign a sworn statement that it is - and filing out a voter registration card is a sworn statement. Thus, if on his sworn voter registration card he listed a Florida address he has access to - even if he doesn't actually own it - he MIGHT be in the clear.

Florida laws can be so odd he might not have a legal problem. A PR problem, but criminal problem? Maybe. Maybe not. See if YOU can figure out Florida 222.17. :2razz:

Members of Congress, including Democrats, do stuff like this. I seem to remember Maxine Waters does - a mansion outside the district and some shack she doesn't live in within the district. Real hard to prove where a person ISN'T a resident. "Home is where the heart is." :lol:

(Sorry to bother you with actual statutory language. I know most members, particularly progressives, really hate that. Most seem to just prefer summary political blog headlines.)
