Unsealed Documents Show That Kris Kobach Is Dead Set on Suppressing the Right to Vote

when a federal court ordered excerpts of Kris Kobach’s testimony disclosed along with other documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union in our challenge to his restrictive voter registration regime.

The unsealed materials confirm what many have suspected: Kobach has a ready-made plan to gut core voting rights protections enshrined in federal law. And he has been covertly lobbying Trump’s team and other officials from day one to sell them the falsehood that noncitizens are swinging elections.

As the de facto head of President Trump’s election commission, Kobach has positioned himself to lead an all-out assault on the right to vote.

Here are three big plays from Kobach’s voter suppression playbook.

Play 1: Disenfranchise new voters with severe registration restrictions

Play 2: If the law doesn’t let you suppress the vote, pull some strings to get rid of the law

Play 3: Cover your tracks

Kobach has been maneuvering behind the scenes to make sure he can impose whatever restrictions he wants without any proof. Why? Because he knows his claims about noncitizens voting are a scam.

Kobach realizes that his law has been disenfranchising tens of thousands of eligible citizens — that is the whole point. And now, he’s poised to do the same nationwide.

Vice President Pence stated that the president’s election commission would begin with “no preconceived notions or preordained results.” That was wrong. As Kobach’s own testimony and documents show, the fix has been in from the start

The game, in play for years is to gain full power & to assure that the keep it.

On November 20, Kobach met with Trump, Bannon, Miller, Kushner, and Priebus to share his secret plan to dismantle the National Voter Registration Act.

1. Duh

It worked in WI, MI, PA, FL, NC. EC was rigged in favor of a-hole t-rump and for GOPers across board. Even after Nov. 2016, like GA. But he did not do it alone. Help from outside the country helped as well as home grown.

2. Certainly. This big steal was in play for many years.

A Global Organized Crime Syndicate with enough laundered cash to buy the players necessary to overthrow the US Gov.

There were a lot of moving parts in this operation but the few at the head of this beast had mapped out the direction long ago.
