The Washington Free Beacon<\/a> posted an article today about a group of liberal professors who want to counter the efforts of President<\/a> Trump’s voter fraud<\/a> commission. Why? I would think all Americans would be in favor of making sure our elections are honest. Any fraudulent vote cast nullifies a legitimate vote. Why would anyone support voter fraud?<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A leaked email obtained by the Washington Free Beacon<\/em> shows a proposal floated by members of the a prominent left-wing professor’s email listserv to form an academic commission to counter President Trump’s voter fraud commission.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump signed an executive order<\/a> on Thursday to establish a commission to investigate voter fraud in the United States<\/a>. Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of state Kris Kobach<\/a> will lead the new body, which will<\/a> “study the systematic issues that have been raised over many years in terms of the integrity of the elections.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shortly after the announcement, Rutgers University Professor Lorraine Minnite<\/a> emailed UC Irvine Law School Chancellor Rick Hasen’s email listserv in an effort to enroll members to “resist” Trump’s commission, according to an email provided to the Free Beacon<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“To members of this listserve [sic], especially the academics: If the President does indeed create a commission to study voter fraud\u00a0and voter suppression in the American election system to be headed by\u00a0the Vice Preisdent [sic] and Kansas Secretary of State<\/a> Kris Kobach, I’m\u00a0calling on scholars of election administration to resist participation\u00a0of any kind in such an effort,” Minnite wrote.\u00a0\u00a0“We should expect a Pence-Kobach\u00a0Commission to find \u2018evidence’ of rampant voter fraud across the U.S.,\u00a0and to recommend proposals to amend the Voting Rights Act<\/a> and the National Voter Registration Act<\/a> to require proof-of-citizenships to register and a national voter ID<\/a> requirement, among other changes that\u00a0will be damaging to voting rights and therefore, damaging to democracy.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

So having to identify yourself and prove that you are a citizen of America to register is damaging to democracy?? First of all, we are a representative republic–not a democracy (you would think a professor would know that). Second of all, we are one of the few countries in the world where elections are held that does not require voter identification. It is time to realize that not everyone is honest and that we need honest elections.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

“Foes of the commission are trying to cover up crimes,” Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the Public Interest Legal Foundation, an Indiana-based group that litigates to protect election integrity, said of the proposed academic commission. “They are accessories after the fact to voter fraud.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most Americans have some form of identification. You need some sort of identification to buy cigarettes or liquor, board an airplane, cash a check, enter a government building, and attend many liberal political events. It seems very odd to me that someone would oppose having to show identification to vote, particularly when most states offer free voter identification cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
