Liberal States Get Jittery as Trump Looks to Clamp Down on Voter Fraud
Breitbart ^ | 07/01/17 | Adam Shaw

Posted on 07/02/2017 5:05:08 AM PDT by Enlightened1

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...

"Voting should have some level of difficulty"

Figuring out how to cheat is about all the difficulty the dims can handle. Your proposal would make it way harder, they will never go there if they have any say.

Look at all the trouble they are having convincing folks of the blatant Russian interference. Life is hard.

get the states from towns represented in this - ESPECIALLY the very last one in Arizona - these were primary votes = but proves the fraud - the very last one is unreal. these gals need a ‘talking too’ - ‘bet they’d squeal like pigs

New Hampshire - ballot boxes not put in secure vault - and tape is anything by ‘secure’ - watch the very end...(remember, they pulled NH out at the last moment - by a few votes. NH is famous for busing in “voters” )

This issue should be second-only to SCOTUS appointments on Trump's list of priorities.

Without voter fraud, Al Franken would be guest-hosting for Chelsea Handler, and it's possible Obama would've never seen a second term.

Here’s my story: I work the polls in New Hampshire on November 8th of last year. Among the tasks I was given was to check in registered voters after they had just registered. In New Hampshire you are required to show photo ID preferably a driver’s license. I noticed on at least two occasions where a person would provide your driver’s license and I would notice that they for wearing the exact same clothes that was in their driver’s license photo. On these occasions I turned the driver’s license over and noticed the date of issue was November 8th 2016.

These types of Voters showed up late in the day as in between 5 and 7 p.m. . I can only guess but I suspect someone from the Secretary of State’s office in New Hampshire got on the horn when they begin to notice the voting trends and told folks from let’s say Massachusetts to get on a bus and get registered to vote.

Those were just a couple of examples of persons wearing the same clothes that were in their drivers license but I saw numerous new registered voters with brand new drivers license that reeks of that reeks of fraud.

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


Please do not overlook the DEAD VOTERS because they are so easy to manipulate.

What Liberals and the Deep State fear the most is exposure of their dirty deeds and the truth about their corruption. They hide under their rocks and come out to screw over their country and the American people. It’s up to We The People to spend 24/7 exposing their dirt. I urge everyone to copy Liz’s comments and send them to your email list(s) and ask them to do the same.

Thank you Liz for all that you’re doing to MAGA and for exposing the corruption being perpetrated against We The People by corrupt politicians!

How dare democrats protect illegal voters. How dare they.

What’s wrong with them?

Are they nuts? Are they evil? How dare democrats dilute the votes of American citizens and act like they’re ‘proud of it’... this has nothing to do with ‘black citizens’ is has to do with corruption. The DOJ needs to stomp on this corruption.

Another angle few are considering are the number of early or mail-in ballots for Trump that were disposed of...Trump probably kicked Cankle’s fat *ss by ten million votes...maybe more.

As usual, life is more complicated than a binary “red state / blue state” view of the world.

Do a search on George Soros and his Secretary of State Project. It was a long term project funded by Soros to place "favorable" candidates in as many SOS positions as possible.

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

It should. Voting is a privilege. It should be the province only of committed and informed citizens. There should be no "voting by default." Our country is too precious for that.

Remember the post-2008 election videos of interviews of people who said they voted for BO and couldn't come up with a coherent list of current events (failed civics test)?

Americans “have the right to know” if their vote actually means anything or if it is being overridden by foreigners in this country illegally or people who vote multiple times. #whataretheyhiding.

Great point to remind everyone of. It doesn’t matter who votes, what matters is who counts the votes . . .

I live in the GA 6th CD, where we just had a hard fought special election to fill HHS Sec’y Tom Price’s empty seat. The word I get is that there were an inordinate number of people showing up at the polls with I filled out absentee ballots they had not requested. I have to wonder what was gong on there. Did the Dem operatives just fail to get the ballots out of the mailbox?
