Do-over? Vice chair of Trump’s voter fraud commission: ‘We may never know’ if Hillary won the popular vote
The idea that President Trump was assembling a “voter suppression” commission the name some of his opponents gave to hisPresidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity raised alarm bells with the left as soon as it was announced. Progressives seem to agree that stories of voter fraud are wildly exaggerated while the government ignores and in some cases promotes voter suppression by trying to keep traditionally Democratic groups from the polls by, for example, requiring photo IDs or proof of residency. The New York Times made note that the commission, headed byVice President Mike Pence, began work today under the shadow of “at least seven lawsuits challenging its conduct, its transparency and even its reason for being.”Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican, has been a controversial presence on the commission, and after Wednesday’s meetings, he stirred the pot even more by suggesting that Hillary Clinton’s popular vote victory might be in question.
Seeing as that’s been one of the top talking points of “the resistance” for months now ouch. It was NBC’s Katy Tur who rushed toward that burning question like a fire fighter.

Maybe that national do-over vote that celebs like Rosie O’Donnell were demanding is in order after all? Nah. Still, how many die-hard “I’m With Her” voters out there can tell you, off the top of their heads, the exact vote count?
Check out MSNBC’s helpful chyron also, with “shares no evidence” in parentheses after Trump’s claim of voting irregularities.

Maybe we should redo the election and find out?
