Trump's 'Voter Fraud' Commission Is Not Closed, It's Moving To DHS

[UCmeNdc]

UPDATE: Looks like the commission is indeed closed, in theory, but its responsibilities (ie voter suppression tactics) are moving over to DHS. Politico is reporting that officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and political appointees will take over efforts to "match state voter rolls to federal databases of noncitizens."

I can't see how this could possibly work, unless you are trying to purge voter rolls of anyone with a Hispanic or Latino "sounding" name.

Kobach said: "It’s the right move. It's a shifting in tactics from having the investigation be done by a federal commission to having it be done by a federal agency. The agency has a greater ability to move quickly to get the investigation done."

2. They See the Writing on the Wall and Are Digging In Their Heels With Voter Suppression

Zealots rarely give up and go home, and they are usually capable of endless treachery. No one should be surprised. More reason than ever for Dems to work overtime and GOTV.
