The voter-fraud crusaders who run President Trump’s electoral-integrity commission have found their holy grail: evidence that large-scale illegal voting swung a pivotal Senate election in 2016.



In his latest column for Breitbart News, Kris Kobach, the commission’s vice chairman, called it “highly likely” that the election of Maggie Hassan, New Hampshire’s Democratic candidate for the Senate, was “stolen through voter fraud.” He said it was “possible” that Hillary Clinton’s narrow victory in the state was the result of illegal voting, too.

Mr. Kobach’s evidence for these explosive claims? “Proof,” he says, that 5,313 people who voted in New Hampshire in 2016 do not actually reside in the state. The theory, which has been hawked by Mr. Trump himself, is that these voters sneaked over the border — or were even bused in! — from neighboring Democratic strongholds like Massachusetts or Vermont, in a huge conspiracy to swing the election.

That scheme had national implications, Mr. Kobach wrote — the Senate failed to repeal Obamacare by one vote.
