One By One, States Are Blocking Pence’s Voter Suppression Scheme
State officials from Virginia, California and Kentucky are refusing to give over voter information to Vice President Pence’s commission on election integrity.
President Trump signed an executive order last May creating the commission, saying that it will “promote fair and honest federal elections” after claiming that millions of undocumented immigrants had somehow managed to vote illegally for Hillary Clinton. No evidence for this claim has ever been offered.
The commission, led by Pence, sent letters today requesting all 50 states to supply voters’ names, birthdays, the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, and their voting history since 2006.
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) said in a statement that he has “no intention” of complying with this request, saying the commission was based on the “false notion” that widespread voter fraud occurred in the 2016 election.
“At best this commission was set up as a pretext to validate Donald Trump’s alternative election facts, and at worst is a tool to commit large-scale voter suppression,” McAuliffe stated.
California Secretary of State Alex Padilla (D) also said “I will not provide sensitive voter information to a commission that has already inaccurately passed judgment that millions of Californians voted illegally… California’s participation would only serve to legitimize the false and already debunked claims of massive voter fraud made by the President, Vice President, and [Kansas Secretary of State Kris] Kobach.”
Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) also had harsh words for the commission.
“The president created his election commission based on the false notion that “voter fraud” is a widespread issue – it is not,” Grimes said in a statement. “Indeed, despite bipartisan objections and a lack of authority, the President has repeatedly spread the lie that three to five million illegal votes were cast in the last election. Kentucky will not aid a commission that is at best a waste of taxpayer money and at worst an attempt to legitimize voter suppression efforts across the country.”

Where is Sessions?
This pretty verifies that substantial voter fraud is going on in these states.
Kentucky? I always thought of them as among the good guys.
I was trying to figure out what was going wrong with KY, but I believe Alison Lundergan Grimes is the failed Dem gubernatorial candidate who became a Soros-bought Secretary of State.
“The president created his election commission based on the false notion that “voter fraud” is a widespread issue – it is not,” Grimes said in a statement. “Indeed, despite bipartisan objections and a lack of authority, the President has repeatedly spread the lie that three to five million illegal votes were cast in the last election. Kentucky will not aid a commission that is at best a waste of taxpayer money and at worst an attempt to legitimize voter suppression efforts across the country.”
If there's nothing to find, Madam Secretary, why are you terrified of an investigation?
Then there's Maryland, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Michigan.
Of course. Filthy SOB wants to keep the fraud machine running for this year's State election.
The information is already in other public database systems.
Simply rebuild the list, then make the states prove the Federal list is wrong.
The best way to confront this is with one of the left’s great tools: the (onerous) REAL ID card.
Congress decides that voters in federal elections must use their REAL ID card to vote. REAL ID includes biometric information.
A Real ID-compliant form of identification requires the following pieces of data:
Full legal name
Signature
Date of birth
Gender
Unique identifying number
Principal residence address
Front-facing photograph of the applicant
Said cards must also feature specific security features intended to prevent tampering, counterfeiting, or duplication of the document for fraudulent purposes.
These cards must also present data in a common, machine-readable format (bar codes, smart card technology, etc.). Although the use of wireless RFID chips was offered for consideration in the proposed rulemaking process, it was not included in the latest rule making process.
DHS could consider additional technological requirements to be incorporated into the licenses after consulting with the states. In addition, DHS has required the use of RFID chips in its Enhanced Driver’s License program, which the Department is proposing as an alternative to REAL ID.
This being said, California is more than happy to issue driver’s licenses to illegal aliens, but to use a state issued ID in a federal election unlawfully would slap on an additional felony charge.
I vote every election. But I am against voting.
- I’m against voting by Vladmir Putin.
- I’m against voting by Germans.
- I’m against voting by Africans.
- I’m against voting by Asians.
- I’m against voting by Europeans.
- I’m against voting by Canadians.
- I’m against voting by South Americans.
- I’m against voting by the president of Mexico.
- I’m against voting by Mexicans.
- Really, I’m against voting by anyone else but me. But to get along with Americans, I go along with Americans. I’m not against voting by Americans.
But if you disagree with me politically, don’t expect me to shed a tear if you don’t bother to vote.
Virginia is one of the worst voter fraud states.
The Democrats with their allies at the SEIU have registered tens of thousands of illegal aliens and legal aliens who are not citizens in the Latino, Indian, and Muslim demographics, especially in Northern Virginia.
Trump lost Virginia because of the huge non-citizen voting in Northern Virginia. The local registrars know what is going on but do nothing about it.
The RINO Republicans also know it but are afraid to be called racist. They are too busy “reaching across the aisle” to the democrats to fight the fraud.
I asked First !!!!
sort of like Where is Waldo ?
