Several Democratic voting experts including New Hampshire’s secretary of state on Tuesday repudiated White House voting commission co-chair Kris Kobach’s 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 he’s 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 ACLU’s 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 Hampshire’s Bill Gardner (D) looked to Kobach, sitting next to him, and spoke about the integrity of elections in his state.
