Just my opinion, it all depends on where he was actually living. If he was living in Hawaii as I've read, then his voting in NC was illegal regardless of him being a felon. Voting eligibility is determined by where a person actually lives and not by where they own property. Military are an exception as they can still claim residency in their home state but would have to vote absentee ballot while stationed/deployed out of the area.He did/does own a home in NC that is associated with his voting info. As far as being a felon, if he completed his sentence, then yes, he was eligible to vote again in NC.
The not switching his voter registration thing is possible. but there is a long period where he didn't vote in NC until earlier this year, BUT it doesn't state that he re-applied or anything. Just shows the 2012 initial registration, which is strange since he voted in NC prior to that year.
I hope that something definite is released regarding his voting history (if any) in Hawaii. I'm having trouble even tracking down what years he lived in what state.
IMO
Its fairly easy for felons and ex-felons, mentally ill, etc. to buy guns in the US today at gun shows, through "straw purchasers" on Craigslist, ordering online, etc. That goes for automatic and semi-automatic weapons/weapons of mass destruction.As a convicted felon, he was prohibited from buying or possessing guns. They almost had him on felon in possession charges several years ago, but the tipster didn’t back up their tip.
He must have bought it from a third party, but the lack of a visible serial number could make it impossible to trace. Hopefully they can raise it somehow.
On the form to register to vote in Hawaii, it asks if you are a registered voter in another state. If you check the box that says "yes", then the next box asks for permission to take you off the voter registration in the state where you are registered outside of Hawaii. You can't register to vote in two states. You have to decide where your main residence is. If you have a job, that usually is the criterion for the state you reside in. Your income tax forms will also indicate if you are a resident or nonresident of the state(s) where you file your taxes. Hawaii registration website indicates that it is a class C felony to illegally register to vote in Hawaii.Just my opinion, it all depends on where he was actually living.

I found this out when I filed a complaint against someone for illegally voting in our city while living in another city. He was charged with ten felony counts of illegal voting because he voted ten times after moving away.

We have two residences, but have to select a main residence and that also dictates which state's driver's license we obtain, where we pay income taxes, etc.
The voter laws are state laws and different in each state. Here in Ohio, I was told that a person can not be removed from our voter rolls unless they register to vote at another address "within Ohio." I mention this because other states may not recognize Hawaii's request and they could still be registered in multiple states. Unfortunately, there is no way to know whether someone is registered to vote in more than one state. Ohio was sued by Judicial Watch several years ago and lost which forced the state to clean up their voter rolls which I was so glad to see as my city had more than twice the number of registered voters as residents.On the form to register to vote in Hawaii, it asks if you are a registered voter in another state.

Good that they are communicating on this. Sounds like they should be able to work this out.The acting director of the US Secret Service told former President Trump that if he wants to continue golfing that it will require significant security arrangements and advanced planning. This came after Trump reportedly asked him if it was safe for him to be golfing.

Not if it doesn't give security the time to properly check the area first. The spontaneity of this particular golfing excursion seems like it could have been a factor. Rather than being able to sweep in advance, they were doing it as they went along. I'm not in security, but even I can tell that's not idealDoes it get posted on his website what his schedule is? Like when he is scheduled to golf? Or just his schedule for campaigning and such?

Seems unscheduled golf trips would be safer with no one knowing.

At this time, he does not announce his golf schedule.Does it get posted on his website what his schedule is? Like when he is scheduled to golf? Or just his schedule for campaigning and such?
