Trump has dissolved his Voter Fraud Commission-citing the refusal of states to provide relevant info

Last edited Wed Jan 3, 2018, 09:13 PM - Edit history (3)

Reminder:

The whole reason this voter fraud commission was created in the first place was basically to legitimize Trump's megalomaniacal delusion that he would have won the popular vote if not for millions of phantom illegal voters.

What about those millions of fraudulent voters who crossed from Mississippi to Alabama to vote against Roy Moore? And the millions (maybe the same ones) of obvious criminals who voted three, four times for Hillary Clinton, just to make Mango Mussolini look bad? Who's gonna look into those important issues?

Drumpf wants passports to be required to vote, no early voting, and liberal use of bad lists to remove folks, especially Hispanics, from voting eligibility without providing notice, and closing poling places in minority heavy districts. He also wants no changes in voting mechanisms so Russia can steal the election for him again.

only 15 states refused to comply. http://www.businessinsider.com/how-states-responded-trump-election-commission-request-release-voter-data-2017-10/#minnesota-deny-24

I'm still ticked NY handed over our voter info, including birth dates, addresses and who we voted for. You would think NY would be the first state to refuse. They caved in.
