Voter Fraud and Election Law Violations?
The complaint takes a darker turn when addressing Schiff’s political legitimacy. The document cites California Election Code §2022 and §349, which define a voter’s residence and domicile requirements, especially for congressional candidates. In essence, a candidate must reside in the state they represent—a requirement Schiff may have violated.
“Between 2003 and the purchase of the condominium at 250 N First St #427, Burbank CA, 95102 in 2009, Adam and Eve Schiff registered as voters and California residents to a small apartment… while maintaining their primary home in Maryland.” – Christine Bish
That timeline matters: Schiff ran for re-election in 2004, 2006, and 2008—all while, according to public records, residing in Maryland. California Election Code §18203 imposes criminal penalties for knowingly submitting false candidacy declarations, and §18560 defines fraudulent voting as a felony punishable by up to three years’ imprisonment.
A Federal Seat in Jeopardy?
If proven true, these allegations threaten the very legitimacy of Schiff’s current Senate run. Article I, Section 3, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution clearly states that a U.S. Senator must be “an inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.”
According to the complaint, “Adam Schiff has maintained his place of primary residency… in Potomac, Maryland. His continued claim of primary residence in Maryland reasonably negates California’s residency requirements.”
Even under California’s tax laws, Schiff may have exposed himself to liability. California’s Franchise Tax Board prohibits individuals from claiming residency in another state while actually living in California—raising questions about potential state income tax evasion or misreporting.
