I do think it's important to note that being registered to vote in two states is not illegal, something that Mr. Bannon knows to be true since he did it. Our voter rolls are garbage, so there is no efficient system to do something as simple as remove voters from the roll once they move to another location. If we had a modern opt-out system with information sharing, that might be different.
This seems to be true. I was in the process of moving to Texas during the primaries last year. I ended up voting in the NC primary. When I got to Texas I registered in Texas. Then I got a ballot in the mail from NC because they were doing a runoff or a re-vote or something. I was to fill it out and mail it back. I called the election board in NC and told them my primary residence is now Texas and I should be removed from the NC voter rolls. She did so and asked me to just tear up the ballot.
As far as I know, if I had not called and asked to be removed, my name would still be on the rolls. There would be nothing stopping me from voting early in Texas, then flying back to NC and voting. Or if I didn't, somebody else impersonating me and voting under my name. As far as I know, the states do not compare databases to look for this sort of thing.
