Gregg Phillips has been promoted by President Donald Trump as an expert on voting fraud, and yet Phillips himself was registered to vote in three different states for the 2016 election.
According to voting records and election officials, Phillips was registered to vote in Alabama, Texas and Mississippi, though he did only cast a vote in Alabama. This despite the fact that it was Phillips who made the unsubstantiated claim that 3 million people voted illegally in this election, a claim which was retweeted by the president and has continued to be repeated and cited as the reason Trump didn’t take the popular vote during the election.
It’s even more ironic, considering the fact that Trump last week called for a huge investigation into cases of voter fraud, specifically calling out instances of people being registered to vote in multiple states.
“When you look at the people that are registered, dead, illegal and two states, and some cases maybe three states, we have a lot to look into,” Trump said in an ABC interview.
As for Phillips, when asked about his registrations in multiple states, he responded, “Why would I know or care?”
“Doesn’t that just demonstrate how broken the system is?” he asked. “That is not fraud — that is a broken system. We need a national ID that travels with people.”
