Herschel Walker may be pulling a Dr. Oz

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Throughout the duration of his senate campaign, Herschel Walker has claimed that he has deep ties to the state he’s hoping to represent in Washington — Georgia. But it turns out that the 60-year-old may be embellishing his connection to the state.

According to The Daily Beast, Walker has been living in Texas for decades. He has said, however, that he has maintained residence in Atlanta for over a decade.

It turns out that the residency he claims to have isn’t actually his. According to Fulton County tax and property records, Walker’s wife, Julie Blanchard, is the sole owner of the residence. Rental income data also shows that Blanchard collected anywhere between $15,000 to $50,000 from the home.

Walker deemed Blanchard’s Georgia home as his when he first announced his senatorial bid last August.

1. I wonder

Did Walker vote in the midterms? If so did he vote in Georgia, or did he vote in Texas?

[marble falls]

2. Very good question. I sincerley hope he voted in both elections, but I'll settle for Texas.

[Useless in FL]

3. Good point!

This really needs to be investigated!

[crickets]

9. I hope somebody checks.

It would be hilarious if he ran *and* voted illegally in GA.

[madinmaryland]

12. VOTER FRAUD. WE FOUND IT FINALLY!

[subterranean]

14. His voter registration is still active in Texas.

He first registered to vote there in October 2020. However, I was unable to find his voting history. It might be interesting to know.

Edit: He is also registered to vote in Georgia since August 2021. Voter history in Georgia is public information, and he has voted in elections there since November last year. The question is, did he vote in Texas too?

[Major Nikon]

18. If he voted in GA without residence he committed fraud

It wouldn’t matter if he voted in Texas or not

[yellowdogintexas]

20. I looked him up in our county elections database

the last time he voted here was in Nov 2020

He can be registered in 2 states but can only vote in one. My daughter's registration stayed on the books for 12 years until I found out what I needed to do to get her removed.

She was also registered and voting in Arizona for those 12 years

[subterranean]

22. Oh, well, I guess he can't be charged with double voting.

Not that it would bother anyone who still intends to vote for him.

[LiberalFighter]

21. The Democratic Party at both the county and state should have access.

[yellowdogintexas]

25. I just looked it up on our county elections website.

The next step will need to come from the Tax Assessor. He definitely is going to owe some money somewhere

[Cha]

4. Go home, Walker, like

Meh Oz had to do.

[Trueblue1968]

5. i think he is running for office in Georgia ..... illegally !!!!! He should not be able to serve.

[crickets]

6. I saw something about this earlier today, and I hope he gets caught.

If proven that he actually resides in TX, Walker could be disqualified outright. 🤞

Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker, facing renewed and growing questions about his residency in the final week of the runoff campaign, described himself during a campaign speech in January as living in Texas and said he decided to run for Georgia’s Senate seat while at his Texas “home,” according to a CNN KFile review of his campaign speeches.

Georgia Democrats have called for an investigation by state officials into Walker’s residency after CNN’s KFile reported last week that Walker was getting a tax break in Texas intended for a primary residence, possibly running afoul of Texas tax law and some rules for establishing Georgia residency for voting and running for office. [snip]

On Monday, The Atlanta-Journal Constitution reported that Georgia authorities have been urged in a complaint to investigate Walker’s residency. Georgia Democrats in a statement called for an immediate investigation of Walker’s residency, and Congresswoman Nikema Williams, the chairwoman of the Democratic Party of Georgia, also asked authorities to see if Walker lied about living in Georgia.

7. The title of this thread briefly confused me

I thought Herschel was buying crudites and guac.

[durablend]

8. No Wegner's in Georgia

[MyOwnPeace]

26. HA! Good one!!!!

The way he butchers the language, it would probably have been a 'Wieners!'

Yeah, follow THAT up after the concerns about peoples' "Erections" in Georgia!!!

[NCjack]

10. Oh, my! There may actually be a Santa Claus.

[kskiska]

11. Like Rick Santorum

using Pennsylvania's taxpayer dollars to school his kids in Virginia, where he actually lived.

[MyOwnPeace]

27. Ol' Hersch couldn't even fit.....

through the doors of Santorum's "house" in Penn Hills - you know, the place where he and his family of 8 "lived!!!!"
Ricky may be one of the early masters of making the RepubiQan lie the law of the land.......

[WarGamer]

13. Where has he LIVED?

[brooklynite]

15. Doesn't matter

Legally you don't need to be a resident of the State until you take office. Politically, nobody who's voting for him at this point is going to care.

[subterranean]

16. But you do need to have you primary residence in the state to register to vote.

If Walker registered and voted in Georgia when his primary residence was in Texas (which he claimed for tax purposes), it means he committed voter fraud. If he legitimately had his primary residence in Georgia, then he apparently committed tax fraud.

But you're probably right that nobody who still plans to vote for him is likely to care about that.

[yellowdogintexas]

23. he can register there & vote there college students register where they go to school

instead of their home state all the time.

He is registered to vote in both states
The last time he voted in Texas was nov 2020
He voted in Georgia this year and made no attempt to vote in Texas so no voter fraud.

The tax rule for homestead exemption in Texas is: if one owns more than one residence, the exemption applies to the primary residence only. As a rule the primary residence is determined by your voter registration. So he is now living in GA and voting there but still claiming exemption on the Texas house

So he is definitely in violation of the Homestead Exemption. He has probably been underpaying his taxes for at least one tax cycle.

There has been enough publicity about this I suspect the Tarrant County Assessor/Collections office will be checking into it.

17. Why didn't this come out earlier?

During the first campaign?

[Old Crow]

19. +1 -- If all of this is true, the media dropped the ball in a big way.

"Turns out, Herschel Walker was never qualified to run for office in Georgia and we somehow missed that. Oops!" WTF?

[kwolf68]

24. The fact Warnock didn't beat this man by 15 points

is a testament to how far down the gutter this nation is.
