At least seven current lawmakers maintain properties outside of their districts, raising questions about where they actually reside and the legality of using one address for voter registration purposes while living at another place.The practice, in fact, is not uncommon. Legislators have had multiple addresses tied to their voter registrations separate from their home addresses. Often, they arose out of redistricting — that once in a decade redrawing of state House and Senate boundaries.What changed this year is that four of the seven are now facing complaints.
