Daily Stormer neo-Nazi website owner once registered to vote at fake address

COLUMBUS - The owner of a neo-Nazi website that attacked a Charlottesville victim once registered to vote at a fake Ohio address.

Andrew Anglin, 33, of Worthington, made headlines after penning an opinion piece on his website, The Daily Stormer, following recent protests that turned deadly at the University of Virginia. The article prompted GoDaddy and Google to boot his site from their platforms.

Anglin likely hasn't lived in Ohio for months. He has voted as an Ohio resident only once – in the 2016 presidential election. (He registered as a Republican.) He sent in his ballot from Krasnodar in western Russia, according to records from the Franklin County Board of Elections. 

Years before Anglin started The Daily Stormer, he tried to register to vote at 915 N. High St. in Columbus – an address that doesn't exist now. The county auditor's office says it didn't exist at the time, either.

Anglin's July 2002 application with the fake address was soon replaced with another in September 2002. That one had a valid address. It's unclear whether Anglin, who registered just ahead of his 18th birthday, was instructed to re-register to fix the address.  

Anglin never tried to vote at the fake address, Franklin County Board of Elections spokesman Aaron Sellers confirmed. Providing inaccurate information on an election form is a crime – a fifth-degree felony punishable by up to a year in prison. Records don't indicate Anglin faced any charges, although charges he faced as a juvenile would be sealed.

Anglin's address is still listed at the fake address on the Ohio Secretary of State's website because records aren't updated to list foreign addresses, Sellers said. An Enquirer reporter tried to visit the address after the Charlottesville protests, only to find it did not exist.
