Trump Claims Vote Fraud in New Hampshire. His Commission Is Going There

[icymist]

New Hampshire is known for hosting the first-in-the-nation presidential primary. But now, another reputation is gaining steam: As a breeding ground for vote fraud.

The state was one of the first targets of Donald Trump’s claims of illegal voting during the 2016 election — he lost the state by a razor-thin margin (fewer than 2,800 votes). Weeks after he defeated Hillary Clinton, Trump claimed without evidence that the state had "serious voter fraud" and charged that "thousands" of people from Massachusetts were bused into in the Granite State to vote.

Trump's vote fraud panel is coming to New Hampshire on Tuesday for its second public meeting, only days after the commission's vice-chair amplified the president's baseless claims in an op-ed that illegal voting had possibly swayed the election in the state.

"It has long been reported, anecdotally, that out-of-staters take advantage of New Hampshire’s same-day registration and head to the Granite State to cast fraudulent votes," Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state, wrote on Breitbart last week.

1. These people are evil, there's no other explanation.

[Funtatlaguy]

2. This pic gives me such joy.

The designer stiletto flippers are classic....well done.

[Achilleaze]

3. Election Disenfranchisement Czar (R)

Did the russians suggest this tactic to the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, and his cabal of colluding republican cronies? It sure smells like russian-style anti-democracy.

[icymist]

5. I think his ego is suggesting it and then Kobach thinks it's a great idea to advance fascism. nt

[annabanana]

9. They can send their suggestions directly to Korbach. .

Pretty much the whole damn party is compromised.

[WePurrsevere]

4. I hope the slimy freedom threatening jerks are ...

Booed out of the room.

It's not only a waste of taxpayers money in an attempt to manipulate things so they can deny people their right to vote, I can't imagine going after same day registration is going to go over so well in NH. It's motto, 'Live free or die', is deeply ingrained into the psyche of many there.

[Voltaire2]

6. Kobach is full of shit.

You have to demonstrate residency. You do not have to have an in-state driver's license.

[Vinca]

7. I vote in New Hampshire elections and given the procedures that surround it,

it would be almost impossible for someone to vote illegally in this state. What a waste of taxpayer money and you know it's just because Don wants to put another state in his column for the 2016 election.

[annabanana]

8. Sure.. We've all seen those lines of busses, driven by Elizabeth Warren

over the Mass line..

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Said The Same When This First Came Up

The claim was THOUSANDS of illegal votes out of MA. So, NOBODY noticed what would amount to around 60 school buses all heading into NH on the same day? Nobody in the polling places in NH noticed bus after bus with Mass plates dropping people off so they could vote en masse?

I mean, come on!

[DallasNE]

10. Same Day Registration

Still requires proof of citizenship and two pieces of mail showing the address you are registering at. So where is the fraud.

[joshdawg]

15. in the vacuum between drumpf's ears.

[icymist]

22. It's the way Kobach and the GOP looks at it:

If a Republican wins then the people have spoken. If a Democrat wins then it must be voter fraud.

[polmaven]

11. Actually, there were busses driven to NH

from MA....with activists being brought to make phone calls and bring ot the vote.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. There Weren't 60 Something Of Them

That's what it would have taken to support their contention as to the number of illegal votes.

Those volunteers could have been moved by 4 or 5 buses, and they weren't dropping people off at polling places. They were dropping people off at campaign centers.

[polmaven]

23. Exactly!

there were not "thousands" of them

[unblock]

12. there's a simple way to completely eliminate any concern about this type of voter fraud:

national popular vote.




yeah, there's always a theoretical way to commit voter fraud, but, you know...

... just sayin'...

[Hortensis]

13. Irma's coverage is hiding the Russia story from his base very briefly,

but this'll be raw meat for the red in claw and tooth for as long as it can be stretched out. Lots of passionate outrage expressed, etc., etc., as much as needed to hide from reality.

[The Wizard]

14. Republicans practice election fraud

a far more serious offense than voter fraud and an indictable offense. Whenever they claim voter fraud, an offense so rare that it almost doesn't register, and hasn't been demonstrated to influence any elections, we must raise the issue of election fraud as in deliberately preventing voters from exercising their franchise based on the likely hood of their voting Democratic. Impeach, indict, incarcerate.

[tanyev]

16. Hey! We're still waiting to hear from the birth certificate investigators that went to Hawaii.

[turbinetree]

19. Why don't these ass**** go to lets say...................China, better yet North Korea,

I got a better one how about f*cking Russia....................and have an investigation...............

[mnhtnbb]

20. I wish someone would have the balls to tell people like Kobach to his face

that you're supposed to shit out your a$$hole, not out your mouth. But maybe when you're full of shit, maybe it just
comes out both ends.

And then cut him off. Turn off the camera and walk away. Refuse to print the shit.

OK. It's Breitbart. It doesn't have to be repeated by MSM.

[Gothmog]

21. This claim is so very bogus

[Norbert]

24. Two Hurricanes and Wildfires in seven states

But the dimwit needs to send a commission to New Hampshire because of an imaginary problem.
