Watch: Trump’s ‘Voter Fraud’ Commission Chief Claims ‘We May Never Know’ if Clinton Won Popular Vote

Twitter Busts Out in Mockery With #WeMayNeverKnow Tweets

As of January 3, 2017, the certified voting totals are: Hillary Clinton, 65,844,610 votes, and Donald Trump, 62,979,636 votes. Clinton won 48.20% percent of the vote, Trump 46.10%. And for the record, an additional 7,804,213 votes, 5.70% of the total, were cast for someone other than Clinton or Trump. These are facts.

But don’t try to tell Kris Kobach any of that.

Kobach, the vice chairman of President Donald Trump’s totally made up “Voter Integrity Commission,” says Americans may never know if Hillary Clinton actually won the popular vote. Kobach happens to be the Kansas Secretary of State. He also happens to be running for governor. And he also happens to be a voting disenfranchisement expert – not an expert in finding ways to get more Americans to vote, but an expert in finding more way to bar Americans from voting.

It should also be noted Kobach is the attorney for an anti-immigrant hate group. 

Wednesday afternoon, MSNBC’s Katy Tur asked Kobach, who was standing in front of the White House, if “Hillary Clinton won the popular vote?”

“We may never know the answer to that,” was Kobach’s claim. It’s important to call his claim a lie, because it is.

President-elect Donald Trump made the false, proof-less claim, that he won the popular vote, “if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally,” less than three weeks after the November election. It’s important to call his claim a lie, because it is.

Trump also lied, claiming he won the Electoral College “by a landslide.”

Despite Kobach’s claims to MSNBC, the purpose of his commission, is, in fact, to ensure voter disenfranchisement, while attempting to provide enough doubt and disinformation to sway some voters’ minds to believe that Trump did win the popular vote. Trump himself has called Kobach’s commission, technically the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, a “VOTER FRAUD PANEL,” as HuffPost notes.

But to be clear, Trump did not win the popular vote.

Nor did millions of people vote illegally, as Trump has said.

Vanita Gupta, the former head of DOJ’s Civil Rights Division under President Barack Obama has an op-ed in The New York Times today. She posted these tweets:

After her interview, Kat Tur trolled Kobach on Twitter:

Kobach’s lie, that “we may never know” if Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, so incensed a great many people they opted to mock Kobach on social media. Take a look:
