It wouldn't surprise me if he also voted in Florida. This should be investigated!

[robertclark]

He should check to see if Mr Rogers has a homestead exemption on his Florida property. This tax exemption is only for a person's primary residence. If he is claiming homestead tax exemption in Florida yet claiming to be a permanent resident of Michigan he is violating Florida law.

You'd think this would be an obvious question. If you are paying $10Million to get into Congress to get a $174, 000 job...WHAT is the benefit you are hoping to get out of that?

Scott and Cruz need long prison sentences.

Thank God for investigative journalism. Without an active and accurate pool of journalists, none of these stories would become public. Thank you to all journalists who continue to investigate, push back and reveal the behaviour of dubious politicians.

How is even allowed to run if he isn’t living in the state?

[dariawilber]

Oh, please let Scott & Cruz lose!

[yanyamcreynolds]

You do a huge public service by calling out all of the corrupt politicians and the things they do. Thank you Rachel

[rubincarter]

Wow! I hope Michigan demands this candidate is held accountable.

[sallyjohimsthal]

Thanks, M L Elrick for your brilliant reporting. You are appreciated by this Michigander.

[doricetimko]

Keep calling these deplorable candidates and politicians out! Please?

[bridgetcollins]

Rogers. Tuberville. Exactly how many Republican senators live in Florida?

[lulajohns]

Rachel, you rock girl!! Keep the truth flowing!!

[amandaamanda]

Call out Josh Hawley for residency issues, too! Also, support Lucas Kunce in Missouri, his challenger 💙

[christinawood]

Why is tubberville still a U.S. Senator??? Doesn't he live in FL??? And now has no property in Alabama??? WHY DO THEY NOT ENFORCE THESE

[brettfine]

The depravity of the GQP knows no bounds. Vote Blue to save our democracy!

[vmath]

If you can't vote, you shouldn't be able to run.

[andrewcrowder]

Don’t forget Tuberville living in Florida.

[Couchflyer-NY]

That’s excellent investigative reporting by M.L. Erick.

[doricetimko]

Thank you, Mr Elric, for exposing this political fraudster.
