Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, once the vice chair of the White House’s fishy “Election Integrity” commission, said Tuesday that, yes, even he could end up winning his neck-and-neck election with the help of illegal votes.
That’s not to say he’s right: A federal judge earlier this year struck down Kansas’s law requiring proof of citizenship to vote, which Kobach himself defended in court, and in the process dismantled Kobach’s supposed “evidence” of widespread voter fraud in the United States.
And recently, a former Democratic “Election Integrity” commission member, armed with internal records and communications from the panel to which he’d previously been denied access, said Kobach and the White House were lying when they claimed they had substantial evidence of voter fraud.
Still, give him credit for consistency: Kobach told ThinkProgress even he could end up benefitting from illegal voting.
“If it’s a close race, illegal votes could swing any close race,” Kobach told the progressive website. “There are close legislative races routinely in Kansas decided by fewer than 10 votes.”
He added: “If you have a close race, yeah absolutely, voter fraud could swing the margin.”
Watch below via ThinkProgress:
First quote: certainly true as an if-then proposition.
Second quote: may be true or false. Let’s see the evidence.
Third quote: also true as an if-then statement.
Unfortunately, “then” is not true unless “if” is true, and the evidence for “if” (election-result-flipping voter fraud) seems to be missing.
Voter fraud could swing the election. So could having your head way, way up your butt.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if KK’s political career came to an end through fraudulent votes in a Republican primary!
Especially the fairies his bogus election commission believed in. They did ALL KINDS of illegal voting and were so slippery they couldn’t even find them.
Maybe some Russian thumbs on the scale? Could those swing an election?
Dude’s consistent. Consistently wrong, but consistent.
