Kris Kobach won't accept report that Trump's voter fraud commission found no voter fraud

No doubt Trump believes the same.

Dishonest Republican with no evidence to support his claim accuses others of having an agenda. 🙄

For his next trick, he can provide the same amount of evidence that the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, and Flying Spaghetti Monster exist.








Kris Kobach won’t accept report that Trump’s voter fraud commission found no voter fraud

He told ThinkProgress he still believes the panel found "ample evidence of 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.”.....................

You've lied before, and you're lying now. I think Kansans are getting tired of you. As one whose family lived in Kansas, you haven't offered any proof nor can you prove anything.

1 was Dem who committed fraud innocently (some kind of records snafu).

2 were by Repubs—guy who voted his wife's ballot because she was gonna vote for Hillary & woman who voted twice for Trump. Just because.

Kobach IS the voter fraud.

who gives a toss what HE accepts. The facts speak for themselves. In state after state, there was NO evidence to support his BS claim. Kobach can piss and moan all he wants, but in the end, there never were 3 million fraudulent votes. And that's the end of it.

Face it, this was never about voting fraud in the first place. It was an attempt to legitimize trump, and throw minorities off the rolls or make it harder for them to vote in the first place.
