Jack Posobiec has spent years warning Americans about the dangers of voter fraud, rallying supporters with claims of widespread electoral misconduct—especially in Pennsylvania, a state he’s repeatedly accused of being a hotbed for Democratic malfeasance. But now, the tables have turned. According to a joint investigation by Slate and the Handbasket, published on October 3, 2025, and corroborated by Raw Story, Posobiec himself stands accused of voting irregularities that could land him in legal hot water.
For two decades, Posobiec, a prominent figure in the MAGA movement and a well-known conspiracy theorist, has cast ballots in Pennsylvania elections—both in person and by mail—despite what appears to be a long-standing residency in Maryland. Records reviewed by Slate and the Handbasket indicate that Posobiec voted in Pennsylvania from 2004 through 2024. The catch? Evidence strongly suggests he’s actually been living in Maryland for nearly a decade, raising serious questions about the legitimacy of his votes.
“The focus on voter fraud in Pennsylvania is particularly ironic because it sure looks like, and a trail of documentation suggests, that Posobiec is living in Maryland but voting in Pennsylvania,” Slate reporters Jacqueline Sweet and Marisa Kabas wrote. “If so, that would be a violation of voting laws, experts say.”
Posobiec’s journey from Pennsylvania to Maryland isn’t exactly a secret. After resigning from his post as a Navy Reserve intelligence officer in 2017, he became a full-time influencer and political activist, aligning himself with groups like Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA. Both he and his current wife, Tanya, have posted photos of their suburban Maryland home on social media since 2018. Tanya, for her part, registered to vote at their Maryland address on Election Day 2020—while Posobiec that same year voted in person in Pennsylvania.
Adding to the mounting evidence, Federal Election Commission filings from 2024 show Posobiec listed the Maryland address more than a dozen times while making political contributions. Some of those donations were made as late as October 27, 2024. Yet, just two weeks earlier, Posobiec posted a photo on X (formerly Twitter) with a Pennsylvania ballot, boasting, “SECURED THE BAG. Just stopped by the county voting board and did the deed—easy and even open on Sunday! Vote Early, Pennsylvania!” According to his voting record, he cast a hand-delivered mail-in ballot that day.
Legal experts say this isn’t a gray area. “Your legal residence is where your life is rooted, the place you come back to,” Adam Bonin, a Pennsylvania election law attorney, told Slate. “Usually, where your spouse lives is where you are presumed to live, but we look at the totality of the circumstances… You only have one residence for voting, and you can’t choose where you vote based on convenience or politics.” Bonin noted that exceptions exist for college students and military personnel, but neither applies to Posobiec’s current situation.
Despite this, Posobiec has not been charged with any violation of voting laws. Both the Pennsylvania state attorney general’s office and the Montgomery County district attorney’s office have reportedly been made aware of his potential Maryland residency, but officials have declined to comment on ongoing investigations or even confirm their existence. A spokesperson for Attorney General Dave Sunday’s office stated, “Generally speaking, our office has jurisdiction over the Pennsylvania Election Code.”
For someone so deeply invested in the narrative of widespread voter fraud, the allegations against Posobiec are more than a little awkward. Over the years, he has been at the forefront of efforts to cast doubt on the integrity of U.S. elections, amplifying debunked conspiracy theories such as "Pizzagate" and vigorously promoting the idea that Democrats have won elections through millions of fraudulent votes. His claims reached fever pitch during the 2020 presidential election, when he posted the "Stop the Steal" catchphrase on social media and spoke at the January 5, 2021, rally in Washington, D.C.—the prelude to the Capitol insurrection.
His focus on Pennsylvania has been relentless. The Republican National Committee enlisted him in the fall of 2024 to speak to poll watchers about election security, with Posobiec repeatedly accusing state Democrats of fraud. He even spread conspiracy theories that were followed by an RNC lawsuit against Montgomery County, though the suit was quietly withdrawn after a judge found no evidence of wrongdoing. “The Petitioners have failed to produce any evidence that Montgomery County has violated any federal or state law … [or] that the testing procedures employed by Montgomery County are unlawful or inaccurate,” the judge opined.
Posobiec also took aim at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, accusing him of “disenfranchising” voters and allowing “thousands of fraudulent registrations” to go unchecked—allegations that state officials repeatedly denied. In one particularly pointed social media post on October 30, Posobiec wrote, “Yesterday in Pennsylvania I saw officers blocking people from voting early in person. I saw Democrats wearing fake badges illegally posing as election officials. And I didn’t see Gov Josh Shapiro doing a single thing about it. This is who Shapiro is. A bum.”
Meanwhile, Neil Makhija, chair of Montgomery County’s Board of Commissioners and Board of Elections, emphasized the rarity of actual voter fraud. “The integrity of our elections is paramount. Voter fraud is extremely rare and in the few circumstances where it occurs, individualized,” Makhija said in a statement to Slate and the Handbasket. “As chairman of Montgomery County Board of Elections, I take all allegations of election fraud seriously and make referrals as appropriate to our law enforcement partners. We are grateful that these crimes are assiduously investigated and prosecuted by our DAs, AG and DOJ, ensuring the integrity of our elections, as evidenced by these recent prosecutions by the USAO of the EDPA. We do not comment on individual matters.”
There’s a certain irony to the whole situation. For years, the MAGA movement has used claims of mass voter fraud to justify laws that make voting more difficult. Yet, as Slate points out, actual instances of voters illegally casting ballots have been vanishingly rare. And now, one of the loudest voices warning of fraud finds himself under scrutiny for the very behavior he so vehemently decries.
To date, Posobiec has declined to address the allegations directly. When reached by phone, he told Slate he was unavailable to speak and did not respond to emailed questions. The story, however, continues to ripple through political circles, raising uncomfortable questions about accountability, the true prevalence of voter fraud, and the motives behind those who claim to be its staunchest watchdogs.
As Pennsylvania remains a critical swing state in national elections—while Maryland’s electoral clout is more muted—some observers can’t help but wonder: Was Posobiec’s insistence on voting in Pennsylvania a matter of principle, or simply political convenience? Whatever the answer, the controversy has cast a long shadow over his crusade for election integrity, leaving many to ponder just who is really "securing the bag" when it comes to American democracy.
