Donald Trump warned darkly of potential voter fraud at the first meeting of his election integrity commission on Wednesday, minutes after its chair, Mike Pence, insisted that the commission had “no preconceived notions”.Speaking to the commission, which comprises a mix of leading conservative advocates for more restrictive voting laws and state and local Democratic officials, Trump said of those state officials refusing to cooperate with the commission: “One has to wonder what are they worried about.” He added: “People would come up to me and expressed concern about voter inconsistencies and irregularities which they saw in some circumstances having to do with very large number of people.”No state has fully cooperated with the commission’s expansive request for data, which includes the social security numbers of voters, though many have partially done so. State election officials have cited privacy concerns and statutory prohibitions in refusing to share all requested data with the commission. These officials include several members of the commission, among them its vice-chair, Kansas secretary of state Kris Kobach, who made the original request for voter data on behalf of the commission.(Theguardian)…[+]
