Report: MAGA influencer Jack Posobiec voted in PA while allegedly living in another state

Influencer Jack Posobiec, a far-right activist known for promoting unfounded claims that Democrats stole the 2020 election through widespread voter fraud, may have voted in Pennsylvania while living in Maryland for years.

A joint report from Slate and journalist Marisa Kabas of The Handbasket revealed that Posobiec appeared to have voted by mail in at least three elections since 2018 using his parent’s address in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Documents and social media posts, meanwhile, suggest that he actually lives in Maryland.

The report cites documents from Montgomery County showing that Posobiec voted by absentee ballot while serving as an intelligence officer in the Navy Reserves until he resigned in 2017.

Who is Jack Posobiec?

The Southern Poverty Law Center lists Posobiec as a political operative with ties to white nationalists and far-right extremists groups in America and abroad.

Posobiec first gained notoriety for spreading the “Pizzagate” conspiracy that eventually led to a man shooting a gun in a Washington, D.C. pizzeria in 2016.

Posobiec later became a political correspondent and presenter for the One America New Network until 2021, when he left the network to join Turning Point USA, a right-wing political group started by the recently murdered Charlie Kirk.

Since then, Posobiec’s start in conservative politics continued to rise with then-vice presidential candidate JD Vance last August endorsing a book Posobeic wrote that described the far-left as “Unhumans” and has reportedly joined members of the current Trump administration in overseas visits earlier this year.

What state does Posobiec live or vote in?

The story alleges that Posobiec lived in Maryland while casting ballots in Pennsylvania.

A divorce complaint from Posobiec’s first wife that same year lists his residence as an apartment in Maryland, and social media posts since 2018 from Posobiec and his current wife include photos of a suburban home in Maryland and list ties to the area, according to Slate and Handbasket.

Over that same period, Posobiec allegedly voted in Pennsylvania using his parent’s address in 2018, 2020 and 2024.

Posobiec also listed the same Maryland home as his residence more than a dozen times for political contributions in 2024, according to the report.

The Southern Poverty Law Center also lists Hanover, Maryland, as Posobiec’s location.

A review of the voter rolls in Montgomery County obtained by the USA TODAY Network from the Pennsylvania Department of State website last month shows Posobeic voting by absentee ballot in 2018 and 2022, in-person during the 2020 election and using the no-excuse mail ballot option for the 2024 presidential election.

Did Posobiec commit voter fraud?

Posobiec has not been charged with any crime. Pennsylvania political law and compliance attorney Adam Bonin told Slate that various factors can decide if someone residing in one state and voting in another legally counts as voter fraud and that “a totality of the circumstances” can factor into that legal threshold.

College students in Pennsylvania are allowed to vote in the town where they are attending college in the commonwealth or their parents’ home address as long as a parent or guardian still lives there.

The story also does not allege that Posobiec voted in multiple states during the same election.
