Says states are trying to hide things from commission

By Philip Bump and Christopher Ingraham
July 1 at 10:59 AM

... the states that have said they will not be complying at all .. represent over 30 percent of the nation's population .... it remains unclear what the commission's ultimate goal is in collecting the data ...

... the bipartisan group of .. officials .. have been .. forthcoming about .. reasons for not complying ...

... at least two .. holdouts were members of the commission, including .. co-chairman Kris Kobach himself, who said .. state law prevented them from fully complying ...

... Kobach doesn't .. have a reputation for being honest about .. voter fraud. Just a week ago, a .. judge fined Kobach $1,000 for “presenting misleading arguments in a voting-related lawsuit.”
