LA County addresses leaked list of Hollywood megastars dragged into baffling voting debacle

Los Angeles County officials have responded to allegations several Hollywood celebrities may have improperly registered to vote using a business address rather than their residential addresses.

“Our office has received and reviewed recent queries regarding voter registration records and this address,” a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk told The Post.

“Under California law, voters must register at the address they identify as their domicile or residence. The subject address is classified as both commercial and residential.”

The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk said a voter registration application may not be rejected solely because the address provided appears to be a business or other non-traditional residential location, provided the application otherwise meets legal requirements.

Hollywood stars including Jennifer Aniston, Jenna Dewan and Nicollette Sheridan were allegedly registered to vote using the address of a West Hollywood financial management office rather than their homes.

According to the Daily Mail, 36 voters were linked to Suite 600 of a building on Sunset Boulevard that serves as the office of financial adviser Michael Ullman and his firm, Platinum Financial Management.

“If a voter attests under penalty of perjury that an address constitutes their residence or domicile, and the registration otherwise meets legal requirements, the registration must be processed,” the spokesperson added, noting officials were “reviewing these records based on the query received to assess whether those protocols are applicable.”

The outlet reported the registrations listed the office address as a residence rather than simply a mailing address.

Among the celebrities identified were Katheryn Winnick, Laura Harrier, Matt Czuchry, Debbie Gibson and Hamish Linklater.

Ullman said he was aware some celebrity clients used the office for mail purposes but disputed any suggestion that they lived there.

“They don’t live here,” Ullman told the outlet. “It’s just a mailing address, but it’s not their residential address. So it gets mailed here, but they voted in their area.”

“The existence of multiple voter registrations at a particular address does not, by itself, indicate an issue with the voter registration process,” the county registrar said. “Based on representation that voters may be registered at a non-residential address, we have protocols to review and seek confirmation.”

According to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s FAQ page, a person may only register to vote at their place of residence. A business address or P.O. Box may be used only as a mailing address.

The report alleges several high-profile celebrities may have listed their managers’ business addresses as their primary residences on voter registration forms, a practice that could potentially constitute perjury if the address was not their actual residence and could affect the jurisdiction in which they voted.

“Hollywood celebrities have spent years lecturing America about the sanctity of democracy and the importance of every vote.

“Now we learn that dozens of them couldn’t be bothered to follow the most basic rule of voter registration: sign your name and state the truth about where you live,” election expert Matt Klink told The Post.

The outlet also reported that none of the 36 registrants associated with the office appeared to have confidentiality exemptions that would shield their home addresses from public records.

The California Post has not independently reviewed the voter registration records cited by the Daily Mail.
