The vice chair of the White House’s bogus “election integrity” commission said Wednesday that “we may never know” whether millions of illegal votes cost President Donald Trump the popular vote in the 2016 election — despite the lack of any evidence to support Trump’s frequent claim that millions of ballots were cast illegally.
“Do you believe Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 3 to 5 million votes because of voter fraud?” MSNBC’s Katy Tur asked Kobach in an interview after the commission’s first meeting. Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes.
“We will probably never know the answer to that question, because even if you could prove that a certain number of votes were cast by ineligible voters, for example, you wouldn’t know how they voted,” he said.
Kobach said the commission was not created to substantiate Trump’s claims.
Tur asked again later: “You think that maybe Hillary Clinton did not win the popular vote?”
“We may never know the answer to that question,” Kobach said.
No secretary of state or board of elections in the country has reported massive voter fraud of illegal voting.
Tur tried a different question later: “So are the votes for Donald Trump that lead him to win the election in doubt as well?”
“Absolutely,” Kobach said. “If there are ineligible voters in an election — people who are non-citizens, people who are felons who shouldn’t be voting according to the laws of that state — you don’t know.”

We all know who won the 2016 popular vote. Hillary Clinton. Everything Kobach says is simply stupid.
Oh Kris…no. You have ginned up some bots to ‘pretend’ there is fraud. There is little to none. We usually know who TRIES it and it’s the GOP. You want to weaken the system by pretending to strengthen it so you can rig elections from here on out. Go back to Kansas and content yourself with drawing funny little line that pull in Republican majorities in every district so you can continue to screw with only ONE state.
We really, really do know, and it ain’t your guy.
Putz
This is getting so ridiculous. I’m going to go drown myself in a tank of Brawndo.
