He has 40 different residences in the last six months. He wouldn't agree he resided at the house he regularly graffitoes with political commentary, but said that's his voting address! Heck, I think we should demand his ballot get pulled before the election is certified, and his voter registration tossed. Oh that’s GREAT. He has 40 different residences in the last six months.

Since tone of voice and eye-winks are absent, the language has to be a mite more transparent. That said, it reads like a letter from someone who doesn't write as well as he thinks he does.
