Ryan charles wesley Routh, 59, who was found lurking with a piece close chair Donald ruff’s Florida golf course in 2024, was convicted Tuesday of attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate. He was also found guilty on four additional charges, including impeding a federal agent and multiple weapons offenses. Routh now faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
According to PolitiFact, Routh’s political leanings are unclear. While he once described himself as a Trump supporter-turned-critic, his voter registration history shows no consistent alignment with any political party.
Public records indicate Routh first registered as a Democrat in Guilford County, North Carolina, in 1988. He changed his affiliation to “unaffiliated” in 2002 and has since maintained it.
His voter registration was revoked in 2002 following a felony conviction, reinstated in 2005, then removed again in 2010 after another conviction.
"When his rights were restored after that, he re-registered in 2012, and that is the current registration for him," Charlie Collicutt, Guilford North Carolina elections director, told PolitiFact.
Routh is also registered to vote in Honolulu, Hawaii, where party affiliation is not required during voter registration.
