Exclusive: Stephen Bannons enrollment is apparent violation of crucial swing states election law requiring voters to be legal residents of county they register inJon Swaine and Lauren Gambino in New York and Richard Luscombe in Miami
Friday 26 August 2016 07.12 EDT
Donald Trumps new presidential campaign chief is registered to vote in a key swing state at an empty house where he does not live, in an apparent breach of election laws.
Stephen Bannon, the chief executive of Trumps election campaign, has an active voter registration at the house in Miami-Dade County, Florida, which is vacant and due to be demolished to make way for a new development.
I have emptied the property, Luis Guevara, the owner of the house, which is in the Coconut Grove section of the city, said in an interview. Nobody lives there we are going to make a construction there. Neighbors said the property had been abandoned for several months.
..........
Details of the apparent breach of election laws by Trumps campaign chief came as it was revealed that Bannon was once charged with misdemeanor domestic violence after a violent argument with his first wife. Court documents first obtained by Politico describe how, in 1996, his wife was left with red marks on her neck and wrist after the New Years Day argument at their home in Santa Monica, California, which began when she woke early to feed their twin daughters and he got upset at her for making noise.
.............
Election officials in Miami-Dade make clear to prospective voters that they are required to actually live in the county and to use their home address in election paperwork. You must reside in Miami-Dade County, their website states. It adds: When you register to vote, an actual residence address is required by law. A county spokeswoman did not respond to questions relating to Bannons situation.

According to court records, Bannon threatened his wife with retribution if she testified in alleged abuse case

Corporate masters that control our news media are somehow uninterested in republican vote fraud, go figure.
