Jumping the Gun


"Data drives out speculation."

President Trump's Commission on Election Integrity has just begun its work ... collecting the necessary facts so that data analysis can determine if there is voter fraud in this country and, if so, how widespread it is. Part of this process is to collect voter data from our 50 states including voter registration info and voting history ... all generally public records which are used by both political parties in their campaigns.

Hold on ... some 29 states (mostly historically Democrat) have demurred in various forms using a litany of excuses ... see: NY Times Listing. The common unofficial reason for this possible non-compliance is that liberal bugaboo, "voter suppression."And John Hinderaker of the Powerline Blog has dissected a specific instance of this refusal ... see: Minnesota's Objections.

Now, are not these demurring states getting a little ahead of themselves? Jumping the gun if you will? One cannot possibly be accused of something unless and until the results are in ... and the remedies, after much litigation, are implemented ... if such are required. The fact that so-called "voter suppression" remedies are presumed means to this voter that these demurring states must already know that this Commission's requested data may have some embarrassing revelations once put through the big-data grinder.

What a crock of BS! Trump's fraud squad is a one-note band of sycophant kazoos whose "findings" are already written to salve Trump's inability to get over the popular vote count. BTW, not a single one of the 57 states has agreed to supply all the data that is requested, citing state laws on privacy (eg sharing 4 digit SS#). That commission is bogus and everyone knows it.
