Especially hilarious about this Thielen hit piece is claims I opposed the Pence-Kobach fraud squad because I saw what last commissions found and was afraid of reforms that would stop rampant voter fraud. In fact, I supported every recommendation of Bauer-Ginsberg commission.

Fixing elections fairly is not a zero sum game. It is possible to design election systems to both make it easier for eligible voters to vote and harder to cheat (even though cheating is rare). My 2012 book, for example, calls for universal voter registation + national voter id

The demise of Pence-Kobach makes real reform more, not less likely, as the charlatans lose respectability and air time and the need for election reform, especially now protecting our voting systems from external hacking, is DIRE.

Really sounds like an attempt to erase the history of those who have done every thing imaginable, including murdern to stop some from voting. It should never be forgotten or wrapped into a both sides solution.

Why do we make what should be in theory a pretty simple process so complicated? I believe it could be drastically more straightforward if we do get at universal voter registration, national voter ID, and nonpartisan districting (gerrymandering)

Is a zero sum game for those who rely on gerrymandering and voter suppression to win.
