    “He notes that he is registered to vote at this Katonah address, that his car is registered there, and that he pays New York State income taxes. He adds that he maintains falconry, fishing, and hunting licenses at this address.”

    The last time I saw residency being an issue was for an Oregon candidate for governor, in his case all that evidence went the OTHER way.

    He had been claiming a family farm in Oregon as his residence, but his voter registration, drivers license, and taxes were all in New York. He was bounced off the ballot.

      Seems like his car registration and recreational licenses in New York State would be less relevant. And it seems like maintaining voter registration and state income tax status based on his “renting a room in a friend’s house in New York State” while he physically resides in California for years is exploiting a loophole at best.

      Edit: If you’re trying to pretend to officially reside in two different places, fuck you.
