The Trump Voter-Fraud Commission's Data Problem
During its second meeting on Tuesday, the Kris Kobach-led group heard presentations that sometimes followed a circular logic.
“Election Fraud is rampant!! California has 11 Counties that have MORE VOTERS than registered voters!!” reads one of the most recent public comments submitted to the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. “I have personally witnessed voter fraud in California,” reads another comment. An earlier comment claims that “many [voters] were deceased and many were not citizens.” Yet another post is from a former San Diego poll watcher who claims to have witnessed attempted voter fraud and was told by an elections official: “if someone wants to vote I am not about to stop them. This is America, not China!”
Over 500 comments were submitted online during the run-up to the second meeting.
