President Donald Trump dissolved his Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity Wednesday and farmed out the work to the Department of Homeland Security.
We hope department officials will be able to do the work the commission was never allowed to do because mostly Democrat-run states refused to comply with requests for public voter roll data. Lawsuits also were filed that purported that releasing the requested state voter data would break privacy protections (even though the information often easily can be bought).
On the contrary, we believe many of the states knew evidence – perhaps widespread – of voter fraud would be found, and they would do anything to keep that fact from being published.
Already, the Public Interest Legal Foundation has found that thousands of self-admitted noncitizens were registered to vote in New Jersey, Virginia and Philadelphia. It stands to reason that many of them have voted.
Trump, in his bombast, has suggested that enough noncitizens voted in states like California that would have given him the popular vote win – instead of just the comfortable Electoral College win – in the 2016 presidential election.
