White House says states are afraid voter fraud commission will show Trump won the popular vote

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump’s commission on voter fraud, known formally as the The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, is facing resistance from 44 states.

The commission is chaired by Vice President Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, one of the leading figures in voter suppression.

The states are refusing, in whole or in part, the commission’s request for a massive amount of voter data, including “including birth dates, felony conviction records, voting histories for the past decade and the last four digits of all voters’ Social Security numbers.”

Now, the White House is lashing out.

White House officials told Fox News on Tuesday that states weren’t cooperating with the commission because they are “concerned they will find fraud” which will “raise doubts about Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote.”

1. Sheesh!

What difference does it make although it certainly seems to matter a great deal to Twitler. I truly hope it keeps him up at night.

11. I have an idea.

People can drive that asshole loony by standing on the side of the road with a big sign that reads "Hillary won the popular vote".

[Iliyah]

2. This WH are all acting like children. They are a bunch of bullies.

I hope the remaining 9 states join the 41.

3. They are afraid that you traitorous bastards will use the data for nefarious purposes.

[gratuitous]

4. Yeah, that's it

Hard to argue with this "logic."

[elleng]

5. 'The White House,' which has been in the past a pretty smart place,

should keep it's mouth closed.

6. A number of GOP states where Trump won are also refusing

to turn over the data. How does that fact fit into the narrative?

8. You took the words right out of my mouth! nm

13. Deep red states ie MS and LA

Yeah, major narrative problem.

16. 44 states...

by definition, some of them (quite a few in fact) HAVE to be red states. They're flailing away, batting at the air hoping to hit something.

9. Wow, This Is Just Eating Him Alive...

[Solly Mack]

10. Snort.

I'm glad it is eating him from the inside out.

12. OMFG:

That Trump is really that nuts is one thing, but that others are willing to go along with the "Emperors New Clothes" is quite another. Unreal!

14. Aaaaand... Now there's a lawsuit!

When the WH gets their ass kicked again (and I think they will), Dolt 45 will have yet another judge to whine about. SAD.

[mythology]

15. Given that this wouldn't be able to link voters to actual votes, how would it do that?

I mean I get why Fox News wouldn't ask that question, but it is so obviously a silly contention.
