Kris Kobach, Kansas’ secretary of state, primary driver of voter suppression laws, architect of the most racist law in modern American history, and lead shitbag of Donald Trump’s “Election Integrity” commission, just made an absolutely jaw-dropping statement that calls into question the results of the 2016 election:
“We may never know the answer”?!? Really? We do know the answer because the election results have been certified in every single state in the nation. If the official position of Donald Trump’s “Election Integrity” commission is that the 2016 election was compromised, that is a very, very serious problem. A crisis of mega proportions. Kris Kobach has an obligation to show the evidence backing up his claims. Right now. Yesterday.
And if Kris Kobach isn’t sure Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 2,864,974 votes, how can we be certain Donald Trump won the Electoral College by a mere 70,000 votes? With Donald Trump’s own commission throwing the results into doubt, perhaps what this nation needs is another nationwide vote—just to be sure.
Here is a fuller part of the interview and there is no doubt Kris Kobach’s answers here raise doubts about the final results of the 2016 election.
KATY TUR: So are the votes for Donald Trump that led him to win the election in doubt as well?
KOBACH: Absolutely.
