In reply to the discussion: Maryland Attorney General Just Blew The Lid Off Trumps Illegal Voter Fraud Commission [View all]July
(4,750 posts)25. Not at all.
Trump is claiming that VOTERS are committing fraud -- that eligible voters are voting more than once, and that ineligible people (non-citizens) are also voting, and that both are doing so in huge numbers, enough to give Clinton a very large popular vote edge over him (because all of those fraudulent votes were for her, in his crappy reasoning). There is no evidence that this is the case.
That claim is unrelated to the fact that RUSSIA has interfered (to a degree that is not fully known yet) with our last presidential election by means of hacking. There IS evidence of this.
Trump, of course, wants us to believe the FALSE claim about voters. He has yet to show any interest in the FACTUAL evidence of the Russian hacking.

Kobach's devious plan may have been to put a chilling effect on voter registrations.

The primary reason for his plan, Interstate Crosscheck, is to purge POC voter names

I'm not as worried by a voter purge as I am about other uses to which the data could be put.

I wish I could write that well. That response says so well & succinctly what I think.
