Kris Kobach won't accept report that Trump's voter fraud commission found no voter fraud
MISSION, KANSAS — A member of President Trump’s disbanded commission on election integrity recently released administration documents showing that the panel uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud, let alone enough to prove Trump’s claim that millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 presidential election.
In a letter Friday, Maine Secretary of State Matt Dunlap (D) wrote that the commission issued a report with a section on evidence of voter fraud that was “glaringly empty.”
On the eve of Kansas’ primary election, commission co-chair Kris Kobach responded to Dunlap’s letter, telling ThinkProgress that he finds the Maine elections official’s claim “laughable.”
“Secretary of State Dunlap’s press release is laughable,” the GOP gubernatorial candidate told ThinkProgress during a press conference Monday. “The commission came up with many, many cases of voter fraud. In fact, at the very first meeting, there were nearly 1,000 convictions for voter fraud — not reports. Convictions for voter fraud. If that’s not a lot of proof, I don’t know what is.”
Kobach also claimed that during a subsequent meeting, the commission had a private organization put together a study of 21 states that found 8,400 cases of double voting.
“If you expand that from 21 states to 50 states, the number doesn’t go up in a linear faction,” he said. “It goes up in an exponential faction because you’re looking at people who could have voted in any of the states considered. So the total number of double voters, had the commission completed his work, would have been an extremely large number.”
But Dunlap said those figures are “absolutely without basis in fact.” In addition, he said the figures were never brought before the commission and Kobach never presented any evidence for his claims of double voting to the group, according to the AP.
