Rep. Akin Changed Voter Registration On Same Day Newspaper Raised Concern
GOP Rep. Akin Changed Voter Registration On Same Day Newspaper Raised Concern He Committed Voter Fraud

Last month, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) — who is running for Senate against Sen. Claire McCaskill (R-MO) — may have violated election laws by continuing to vote in a town where he no longer lived:

Akin has cast a ballot in Town and Country 10 times since he and his wife, Lulli, purchased the Wildwood home at the end of 2007. Most recently, he voted in the April municipal election in Town and Country.

Both addresses are within Akin’s 2nd Congressional District. But the law says voters must cast their ballots in the specific jurisdiction where they live.
