ALECs Scary Plan For Electing Your Senators
Reprinted with permission from AlterNet.
The New York Times and Washington Post reported that President Trump has had conversations with top officials about whether he could pardon himself and his family, and also suggested that the White House could be mounting an attack on the credibility of Robert Mueller, the special prosecutor leading the investigation into Russian influence on the 2016 campaign.
Trumps election integrity commission convened for the first time on Wednesday and he wasted no time assailing state election officials who have refused the panels unprecedented request for detailed voter data. The president alleged, darkly, that uncooperative states might have something to hide. One had to wonder what theyre worried about, Trump said. Theres something. There always is.
Then as the session concluded, an MSNBC reporter asked vice chairman Kris Kobach, Kansas Republican secretary of state, whether he believed, as Trump has suggested, that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 2.8 million votes because of voter fraud. We will probably never know the answer to that question, Kobach replied.
