President Donald Trump on Saturday accused states rejecting his bogus “election integrity” commission’s request for sensitive voter information of “trying to hide” something.

Trump claimed the shady commission is a “very distinguished VOTER FRAUD PANEL.”

On Friday, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach — who heads the commission — said he will not hand over voter information to his own panel.

A laundry list of states including California, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee and Virginia have announced they will not comply with the commission’s request.

1. It's the swing states that count

Forget his distractions.

2. No state

should help propagate Trump's ridiculous lie.

3. Evidently Russia also needs the last four digits of your Social Security Number

4. donald WE DIDN'T WANT YOU

we'll never want you. 3 million more people voted for Hillary than voted for you. 7 million voted for other candidates, because they DIDN'T LIKE YOU. We'll never like you and the more crap we hear from you, the less we like you. The only reason you are sitting on your doublewide ass in the White House is because putin fixed those swing states for you. And I can't wait for your house of marked cards to go down. The only creature who might like you is a dung beetle and lately I have my doubts about them.

5. Next up: tRump forms distinguished commission to investigate NASA's slave colonies

on Mars.

7. Hidden in pizza joints.

6. The one instance where "states rights" are actually valid.

" .... his bogus “election integrity” commission’s request for sensitive voter information of “trying to hide” something."

When Kobach refuses to hand over a list for these fascists so they can target Americans for retribution for voting against him things are we'll and truly fucked.

The number of Amendments these people are violating is astounding.

11. Yes the RED states have nothing to gain from this

No state Governor or Secretary of State should comply with this DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.
If anybody gives over their voter registration info, there's no going back.

Republicans need to beware of this trap, the Democrats are already extremely wary.
Everybody loses! It should be taken to court and I'm sure it will be struck down.

[Old Vet]

19. You are right, This is scary stuff.........

Iam gonna stay on top of this shit.

[pangaia]

16. It seems pretty funny-- Kobach refuses to hand over info he asked for,

[sheshe2]

8. Fugg Donnie!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

9. For once, I agree with *****.

The panel is a fraud.

[Hortensis]

10. Here's where each state is standing as of last evening.

My heart's in California, but our current state, Georgia, is "Partial": "The Georgia Secretary of State's office will provide the publicly available voter list. As specified in Georgia law, the public list does not contain a registered voter's driver's license number, social security number, month and day of birth, site of voter registration, phone number or email address."

The withheld info is for sale on the open market, of course.

States' rights conservatives AND/OR civil libertarians are saying no in 29 or so states so far. But that still leaves half the states potentially ready to go along with fascistic orders.

12. "distinguished VOTER FRAUD PANEL"

The one that is headed by Kris Kobach?

How about John Dillenger running a commission on bank robbery?

The Election was Stolen – Here’s How…


Friday, November 11, 2016
Before a single vote was cast, the election was fixed by GOP and Trump operatives.

Starting in 2013 – just as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act – a coterie of Trump operatives, under the direction of Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, created a system to purge 1.1 million Americans of color from the voter rolls of GOP–controlled states.

The system, called Crosscheck, is detailed in my Rolling Stone report,
“The GOP’s Stealth War on Voters,” 8/24/2016.

Crosscheck in action:
Trump victory margin in Michigan: 13,107
Michigan Crosscheck purge list: 449,922

Trump victory margin in Arizona: 85,257
Arizona Crosscheck purge list: 270,824

Trump victory margin in North Carolina: 177,008
North Carolina Crosscheck purge list: 589,393

13. What s Trump hiding?

I'm not on Twitter, but I hope someone (or many someones!) respond to Trump's tweet with the question, "What illegal things are you hiding by not releasing your tax returns?"

[ciaobaby]

14. Hey Donny, how about this....

You hand over your tax returns for the last 10 years and we will hand over our voting data.
Get back to me on that.

[pangaia]

17. No way. That's nuts.......

[HockeyMom]

15. What happens when people move out of state?

Do states still keep records from years past of voters who have moved out of their states? Going back to 2006? Well, we lived in State A then. In State B from 2007 to 2016. State C since February 2017. Registered but haven't vote in State C, yet. Voter Fraud going from State to State to State? Trump going to track US Citizens movements across state lines too? Of course, must be something "illegal" in this, besides registering as a Democrat.

[mdbl]

18. I just wrote the the Georgia Secretary of State about keeping our election system private

and I will call them Monday morning. This is so weird it's evil. Trump won't even release his goddamn tax returns and he say the states have something to hide? What an ass.

[lark]

20. Damn it, he wanted to surprise Pootie & give him this information this week.

Funny Kobach doesn't want Russia to have his states information.

[NCjack]

21. Folks, this is Trump's first step in coming to seize our guns. Stop him here. nt
