Todd Akin votes in Town and Country, but does he live there?
Rep. Todd Akin raised his family on a sprawling homestead in this St. Louis County burg, where a modest home now sits among a collection of weathered sheds. Earlier this month, old newspapers had accumulated in the long driveway that separates the property from surrounding suburban mansions.

About 18 miles west, the Republican congressman and his wife own a secluded ranch house near the county line in Wildwood. On a recent afternoon, Akin's Chevrolet Blazer was parked out front, and a dog sat in the driveway.

Which house is Akin's official residence?

Akin's office says he lives in Wildwood. Tax documents show Akin lives in Wildwood. Akin has been telling people since 2009 that he lives in Wildwood.

1. There is absolutely no excuse for falsely voting in the wrong district.
Since 2007. It would be different if he had just moved.

He should be prosecuted for voter fraud because he wasn't legally registered to vote. And I don't understand why he felt he needed to vote in the old district as it wouldn't effect his residency requirement to be a US Representative. As there is no requirement to live in the district. But he lived in the congressional district even at the new address. Again, doesn't make any sense.
