President Trump's senior adviser problematically also has active voting status in New York City.

One of the most powerful men in America happens to be a resident of Sarasota County. We think. His name is Stephen K. Bannon, the scruffy-faced senior adviser to our new president. Maybe you’ve heard of him. But has anyone actually seen him?

In particular, has anyone ever seen him at 3108 Casey Key Road, though probably not asking neighbor Stephen King to borrow a cup of sugar, considering King once wrote on Twitter: “My newest horror story. Once upon a time there was a man named Donald Trump and he ran for president.’’

Anyway, this is where Bannon lives, or is supposed to live, still, according to the Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections office. It’s the address listed on his voter registration form, effective Aug. 25.

There is only problem: Bannon is also registered to vote in New York City, listing a home address on West 40th Street, and according to a spokesman for the New York State Board of Elections, he voted there in November by absentee ballot.

That means he voted in New York while still registered in Sarasota County, where he did not vote. His voting status in both places remains active, records show.

Now, no one is suggesting Bannon has knowingly broken the law or committed voter fraud. This whole thing is probably a misunderstanding, no harm intended, like ripping the tag off a mattress or taping a game without the express written consent of Major League Baseball. More than likely it was simply New York County not notifying Sarasota County about his address change.

Still, there’s a pattern here, a strange pattern, especially when you consider he was formerly the executive chairman of Breitbart News, a publication that warned of fraud by Democratic voters.

This all began in April 2014. That’s when Bannon, who lived in Laguna Beach, California, registered to vote in Dade County. He listed his address as a Coconut Grove home he did not own, but one he was renting for his ex-wife.

On Aug. 25, 2016, when Bannon was CEO of the Trump campaign, the Guardian newspaper published a story claiming he had never lived at the residence and questioned whether he violated voter election laws. No laws were broken because Bannon never voted there. Still, the national media picked up on it.

Anyone seen Stephen?

On Aug. 19, around the same time that the Guardian story was set to come out, Bannon sent a change of address by mail to Sarasota County, which took effect Aug. 25.

He listed the address of a $1.4 million home on Casey Key owned by Andrew Badolato and his ex-wife, Melissa. Andrew Badolato has written articles for Breitbart and worked with Bannon on films, and the two have been involved in business together in the past.

Why Bannon switched to the Casey Key address is unclear, especially considering he has never voted in any election using this address, according to the supervisor’s office. Attempts to reach Bannon’s spokesman were unsuccessful.

Whether Bannon actually lived at Badaloto’s house is actually an interesting question. If he lived there, he was helping to run Trump’s campaign from Sarasota, which is kind of cool. If he didn’t live there, well, that doesn’t look so swell.

It’s pretty hard to determine where someone actually lives, experts say, and they agree that Badaloto would likely vouch for his friend if asked, and who is going to argue?

Still, Bannon’s change of address did catch the attention of a global internet group called Avaaz, which filed an elections fraud complaint on Oct. 20, saying this was a “serious matter of public interest.’’ The state disagreed and dismissed the complaint Jan. 11.

On Oct. 14, while still registered in Sarasota County, Bannon for some reason declared his new residence as a gorgeous co-op building overlooking Bryant Park in Manhattan. The place was built in 1907 by Andrew Carnegie and Albert Einstein; Thomas Edison and Charles Lindbergh were residents.

Or at least that’s what they put on their voter registration forms.

So what does this all mean? Why did Stephen Bannon, one of the most powerful men in America who helped write the president’s inauguration speech, register to vote in three different counties — Dade, Sarasota and New York — in a span of less than three months?

Who knows?

You’ll have to ask him.

Next time you see him, that is.

He lives on Casey Key.

Doesn’t he?
