Liberal States Get Jittery as Trump Looks to Clamp Down on Voter Fraud

As the Trump administration looks to clamp down on widespread reports of voter fraud and abuse, some mainly liberal states are pushing back — fearing that Trump is launching a “voter suppression” commission.

Trump’s Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity has asked the states to hand over data from their voter rolls. According to Axios, that includes voter information regarding felony convictions, military status, and voter history. They have set a deadline for the middle of July.

However, the outlet reports that the commission is getting pushback from mainly liberal states such as California, Virginia, Connecticut, and Vermont — with some refusing to comply altogether and others handing over what is publicly available. However, some red states, such as Oklahoma and Kentucky (which is headed by a Democratic governor), have also pushed back against the effort.

Trump has frequently highlighted alleged cases of voter fraud and has even claimed that he would have won the popular vote in the 2016 election if the number of illegally cast votes was discounted. In May he signed an executive order setting up the commission to investigate those reports.

However, the states objecting have said they won’t comply if they believe the effort is more likely to produce voter suppression rather than the stated goal of election integrity.

California’s Secretary of State, Alex Padilla, objected in part to anti-immigration hardliner and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s appointment as vice chair of the commission.

His role as vice chair is proof that the ultimate goal of this commission is to enact policies that will result in the disenfranchisement of American citizens,” he said.

“This entire commission is based on the specious and false notion that there was widespread voter fraud last November,” Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe...

Of course the Rats are correct. This IS about suppressing their voter base. Illegal voters.

“This entire commission is based on the specious and false notion that there was widespread voter fraud last November,” Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe...

Thank God we will be rid of this canker sore in a few months.

[junta]

One of those liberal states not volunteering info to that commission is Mississippi.

[PubliusMM]

One idiot’s ‘voter suppression’ is another man’s ‘voter integrity’...

ALL voters should be required to show proof of eligibility to vote. Illegals should be prevented. Seems simple enough.

Now, before all the privacy nuts get their panties in a wad, do you seriously believe that FedGov doesn’t already know about you, your history, and your travel, purchase, internet, and social media habits??? Guess again, snowflake.

There are a number of red states as well. I think the SOSs are afraid the results will show they’ve done a poor job of keeping the voting roles correct.

[Lisbon1940]

They are all mentioning their state symbols against voting reform. Bourbon, Gulf of Mexico, what is next?

[Pikachu_Dad]

The attorney general in Mis. is a rat... “Incumbent Attorney General Jim Hood (D) won re-election to a fourth term.”

McAwful was governor to provide a springboard to the Presidency

He will not be gone. He carries the Clinton Legacy

"I think the SOSs are afraid the results will show they’ve done a poor job of keeping the voting roles correct."

A lot of the Demonicrat SOSs realize they and their cohorts will be headed to the slammer when their voing fraud crimes are revealed.

I recon that Trump WON the popular vote by many....many millions of votes.
Between illegals, dead voters, bussed around multiple voters, and so called “progressive “ voters who think it’s for the good of the nation to vote in their winter homes and their summer homes by using the early voting fiasco, I’ll bet dollars to donuts Trump has ‘mandate numbers ‘.

1. Immediately delete all voter rolls
2. Prospective voters must re-register, in person
3. Two forms of ID required. One must be photo ID
4. Photo ID required to vote
5. Early voting is eliminated
6. Vote by mail is eliminated
7. Absentee voting is curtailed
8. Repeat every five years

Voting should have some level of difficulty

Wrong. Matt Bevin is governor of Kentucky and is a strong, pro-life, conservative Republican

Donald needs to have DOJ look into this: (A) many RAT states vigorously advertise their voting data for sale; (B) certifying that its authentic and usable; (C) the RATS take money for the data. This could mean violations of several laws....and a RICO conspiracy..

DOJ needs to consider full investigations centering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) because:

<><> (1) tax-paid state personnel

<><> (2) were employed by a publicly-funded sales enterprise,

<><> (3) that engaged in, and/or affected interstate commerce,

<><>(4) the tax-paid persons colluded to operate and manage the enterprise

<><> (5) through a “dedicated pattern” of racketeering activity,

<><> (6) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the “pattern” of racketeering activity.

Have you ever met any criminal in prison who admitted that they did anything wrong? No, they all profess innocence. It is the same here. These reprobates merely are afraid their criminality or incompetence will be discovered. The swamp is, indeed, very deep.

[mrsmel]

And Texas. It’s not just leftist states. The RINOs are in on this too. I imagine that the RINOs in MS don’t want their dirty, possibly illegal, tricks to come out, such as they utilized against Chris McDaniel in the primary run-off.

Tennessee too, I think. Very disappointed in TN.

It is entirely possible that the state of Virginia-—refusing to handover voting data——and California and other liberal states———may have committed state and federal offenses, including, but not limited to:

<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Government for funding (may involve several felonies and could include forgery);

<><> 18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to documents required by ERISA enacted 1974 and other possible offenses including civil and/or criminal RICO violations.

<><> 18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act) 18 U.S.C. §1001 (making false Statements to Agents of the US Government regarding voting results),

<><> 18 U.S.C. §241 (Conspiracies Against Civil Rights). Violation of Civil Rights under Color of law and conspiracy. Conspiring with others to violate 4th amendment rights.

<><> Possibly full investigations centering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted because (1) the persons (2) were employed by or associated with a federally funded enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate commerce and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a “pattern” (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the “pattern” of racketeering activity.

<><> Alleged Offenses could include Violation of Rights – which prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District

<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §2 41 – Conspiracy Against Constitutional mandates in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I’ll be gratified if they nab the liberals first....then go after the others.
