Several Democratic voting experts including New Hampshires secretary of state on Tuesday repudiated White House voting commission co-chair Kris Kobachs claim that thousands of out-of-state voters in New Hampshire likely tipped the Senate race to Democrats. Kobach acknowledged he should have hedged his wording, but did not admit he was wrong.
In a Breitbart column last week, Kobach claimed that he had definitive proof that more than 5,000 out-of-state voters cast fraudulent ballots in 2016, tipping the Senate and potentially presidential race to Democrats. During the second meeting of his voting commission in New Hampshire Tuesday, Kobach called his evidence anecdotal and said hes not sure he used the right word when he wrote that it appears there was fraud.
Maybe the right words were does not appear,' Dale Ho, director of the ACLUs Voting Rights Project, responded on Twitter.
After partially walking back his column without admitting his lie, Kobach was then rebutted by two Democratic secretaries of state. New Hampshires Bill Gardner (D) looked to Kobach, sitting next to him, and spoke about the integrity of elections in his state.

They hate all us liberals, blacks, gays, etc.
Kobach is trying to remove us within the current legal framework, given half a chance he would remove us anyway possible if allowed.

(574 posts)Kobach knows his lie will circle the planet three or four ties before the truth finds its shoes. Well, I think that's how the saying goes.
Republicans are professionals at spreading such lies; if anything, they feed on our resulting outrage.
