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...

To the left, any attempt to ensure that only legally qualified voters are registered and that registered voters are positively identified at the time they vote *is* voter suppression.

If anyone ever had any doubt that the Democrats depend heavily on vote fraud to "win" elections, their actions in this vote fraud audit should put those doubts to rest. If the Democrats were truly concerned about election integrity, they would be happy to show everyone that their voter rolls are clean and there are no fraudulent votes cast.

Not good enough

All state agency funds should be curtailed, not just the voting agency. If leverage is desired, get a very long lever

Let the dead rest and the frauds flee to other venues.

We do not need elections that are farcical in nature. The United States is not a net exporter of bananas.

The attorney general and Secretary of State for Kentucky are both democrats.

Both are questionable characters. The attorney general’s father is the former governor to the present Republican governor and has attempted to hamstring his efforts to drain the KY swamp.

The Secretary of State comes from the family of a convicted felon deeply associated with the Democratic party and ran against Mitch McConnell and was soundly defeated. As bad as Mitch is she would have been worse

This is about putting terror into illegal voters and getting themselves to remove their names from the polls, eventually. Faced with revocation of probation or deportation, millions should de-register once they understand party hacks are voting *for* them.

As I understand it, the voting rolls are public record.

I also believe the states sell these records. Where do you think the political parties get their mailing list?

I do not believe the states have any right not to provide the public records to the commission (although I suspect they already have them)

This is a battle the states can not win.

Still hanging on to the 'no crime therefore no law needed' gambit.

If there were no murders in River City last night does that mean we don't need laws against murder on the books?

Al Franken: “We’re how many votes behind Norm Coleman?”
Staffer: “2950”
Franken: “Look in the trunk of that Volkswagen in Duluth.”
Staffer: “Wow, 3000 absentee ballots, all voted for Franken”
Just amazing.

=================================================

REFERENCE---Voter fraud 'much more widespread' than Virginia, Pennsylvania;
Trump 'not prepared' to deal with illegal onslaught

Oct 2016, WND

A new report by a national watchdog organization found evidence of major voter fraud going on in Virginia and Pennsylvania, but the problems are likely affecting many more states, says the group’s leader. The same organization that uncovered fraud in Virginia and in Philadelphia – the Public Interest Legal Foundation – is also filing lawsuits claiming voter fraud is taking place in Broward County, Florida, and in Wake County, North Carolina. And, WND has learned, an investigation by a separate watchdog group in Maryland has uncovered major irregularities there.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation’s report found more than 1,000 instances of illegal immigrants or non-citizens being registered to vote in just eight Virginia counties. They cast nearly 200 ballots in elections before being purged from voter rolls. The other 125 counties in Virginia did not provide data, so the problem is much more widespread than the small sample would indicate, said attorney J. Christian Adams, who represents the foundation.

Attorney J. Christian Adams: “It’s not just these two states,” Adams said. “These are just the two states we focused on.” Most states fail to purge their voter rolls of non-U.S. citizens – those here illegally and those here legally but who are not citizens, said Adams. The problem is getting the data. Refusing to crack down

Adams, a former U.S. Department of Justice lawyer who authored the book “Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department,” said states have plenty of tools they could use to purge their voter rolls of fraudulent voters, but they refuse to use those tools. One of the tools is the jury-duty process. Persons who register to vote get placed in the pool of jury duty applicants in most states, but it’s only when they get a notice calling them to serve on a jury that many will then admit they are not citizens. There are methods of cross-checking the jury duty rolls, as well as the driver’s license rolls.

“I wish Virginia was doing that,” Adams said. “The governor vetoed legislation last year that would have required it.” So how were the illegal voters caught in Virginia? “These people lied when they got a driver’s license, their license came up for renewal and then they told the truth and it set off a flag,” Adams said. Basically, they turned themselves in.

The foundation’s report shows the majority of fraud consists of non-citizens lying on voter registration forms, saying they are U.S. citizens when they are not. Federal law makes this a felony, but offenders are rarely prosecuted. States all use the same voter registration form, which places them on the “honor system,” essentially taking the word of the applicant that he or she is a U.S. citizen when they check the box declaring their citizenship, Adams said.

“We have to be on the honor system because of the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, also called the motor voter law,” Adams said. “It’s a federally mandated form.”

Correct. And, as usual, the media ignore this.

In fact, the Democrats in particular have details on every voter, legal and illegal, because they must know the numbers in order to stuff enough ballots in the box to win.

Ironically, this counting of chickens was the downfall of the Hillary campaign since their data was inaccurate but it doesn’t mean they didn’t engage in the practice.

In oregon, legal citizens are required to have a federally approved birth certificate to receive a driver’s license.

I propose federal identification required to vote in any and all federal elections.

If fraudulent votes are eliminated, Trump’s Presidential victory and his mandate to save America from destruction are far greater than recorded.

Voter Data Usage Notice

Lists states and their policies for disseminating the info.

So which states saying no will otherwise cough it up to anyone other than the Trump admin?

Like NYS, for example, which will happily give over the info for "political purposes".

Snort.

Wasn’t it McAuliffe who was ordered by Virginia courts to stand back from allowing a class of more than 200,000 convicted FELONS to vote in the state, so he went ahead and defied the courts by having felons robotically signed one-by-one as authorized to vote?

Vote fraud has been clearly documented by undercover videos from Project Veritas.

Instances of documented, proven vote fraud are widespread:

1. Dead people voting in Colorado.
2. Illegals found voting in Virginia; only discovered after they self-reported.
3. Some Pennsylvania citizens voting twice.
4. Illegal voters uncovered in Philadelphia; half had previously voted.
5. Voter rigging triggers probe in Texas. (Mail-In Ballots)
6. Indiana voter fraud investigation grows to 56 counties.
7. Three under investigation in Oklahoma for voting twice in the presidential primary.
8. Election fraud in Kentucky.
9. Underage voters found voting in Wisconsin’s presidential primary.
10. Voter registration cards sent to illegals in Pennsylvania.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/oct/17/no-voter-fraud-isnt-myth-10-cases-where-its-all-to/

Vote fraud EXISTS. There’s not even a question that it EXISTS.

The question is in the AMOUNT of fraud, HOW MANY fraudulent votes are there?

Leftist officials and pundits say it is rare, but how can they know that? Answer: they can’t know that. They can’t know that until a thorough study is done.

No question that leftists are hiding the fraud. It is what they rely on to keep the political power they have stolen.
