Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the head of President Donald Trump’s commission investigating voter fraud, on Wednesday refused to concede that Democrat Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in last year’s presidential election. Kobach refused to acknowledge Clinton’s popular-vote win, even after repeated questions from MSNBC’s Katy Tur. Kobach claimed that if people cast illegal ballots, “you still won’t know if they voted for Trump, Clinton, or someone else. It is hard to know exactly what the final tally would be in that election.”Kobach denied the commission’s probe aims to legitimize Trump’s unsupported claim of voter fraud. Trump himself has referred to it several times as a “VOTER FRAUD PANEL.”Trump and Kobach, among other Republicans, have insisted without evidence that voter fraud is widespread.
