Please note: This article originally stated that Romney would not reveal his 2010 tax returns because they might show he was not a Massachusetts resident. That was an error . Indeed, on Romney released tax returns for 2010 he did list "Belmont, MA", as his home address, but we do not know if it were his own address or his son's. We also do not know if he paid Massachusetts income and capital gains taxes for that year. The article has been revised to correct that error. The author apologizes to Mitt Romney, to HuffingtonPost and to his readers for this error. It remains an unknown question whether Mitt Romney indeed satisfied the legal requirements as resident when he voted for Scott Brown.
Mitt Romney voted for Scott Brown in the special Massachusetts election to fill the seat of the late Ted Kennedy (D-MA).
He listed his residence as the unfinished basement of his son's home in Belmont, MA.
Whether the elder Romneys were legal residents of Massachusetts at the time is unknown. If he released his Massachusetts taxes for the same year he released his federal taxes, we would know.
We do know that he also had a home in New Hampshire. Why might he want to live in New Hampshire? Because New Hampshire has no capital gains or income taxes. So, the Mittster parked some of his money in the Cayman Islands, some in Switzerland, and parked himself in New Hampshire, all to avoid taxes.
Nonetheless, Mitt allegedly voted in the Scott Brown election. Ann probably did too.
To release his 2010 Masschusetts tax returns would settle the question about whether he committed voter fraud.
And, we all know how deeply concerned Republicans are about voter fraud, don't we?

VOTE OUT THE GOP CARPETBAGGERS IN NOVEMBER...SEND THEM HOME AND SEND A STRONG MESSAGE FROM THE MIDDLE CLASS THAT WE ARE NOT FOR SALE, NOR ARE WE HERE TO MAKE THE RICH EVEN MORE RICH.
And can you ask why Obama refuses to release anything regarding his past. Passport info, school records, LSAT scores, classes taken and grades while attending Harvard and Columbia, medical records, etc.. he is as transparent as a brick, but you people keep believing his BS
How can we elect a fraudster voter to the highest office in the land??????
I know, Rick Scott is a medicare fraudster, and he's the governor of Florida, but this is Voter Fraud.
If the GOP voter registration restrictions were in place in MA, would Mitt have been able to vote???
• call the Town Clerk in Belmont to ask why the Romney's were allowed to vote,
• ask the town's three member Registrars of Voters why he was allowed to vote, and
• call the bluest of blue dog democrats in Massachusetts, Secretary of State Bill Galvin why he hasn't begun an investigation in the two years since this information has been known.
Three phone calls and you'll get your answer. That is, if you want an answer.
[From what I know about the Helmsley case, there was a bit of overkill--she paid more than $50M in taxes in the year she was accused of tax fraud of about $1M. There was an effort to create a terrible public view of her--which may have been true, who knows--so they could make an example of her].
