Trump says his Voter Suppression Commission was bipartisan... is it?

[procon]

When the 12-member panel was set up in May, Trump described it as "bipartisan", and at his announcement today, he kept repeating that. The only thing I see that's 'bipartisan' is the widespread resistance from states refusing to comply with the commission. Both co-chairs are Republicans, but I can't find a list where any big name Democrats are on this commission.

Trump's 'voter fraud' commission is a rogue’s gallery of the country’s worst voter suppressors, from Kobach, whom the ACLU dubs the "king of voter suppression", Blackwell, and von Spakovsky, and they have one job -- to help Republicans win elections where they can't otherwise win fairly.

Anyone know why Trump is calling his fake Commission 'bipartisan'?

1. There are four Democrats on it. One said he has no idea how he was selected.

He also said that he thought they were just looking for a Democrat county clerk. He added that even though his county is solid GOP, there is no voter fraud.

4. Placeholders?

I still wonder who they are?

I can't see any Dem, let alone a well known or ranking Dem, willingly participating in this hoax.

8. They are all from state level positions. The guy from WV is a county clerk.

2. Because he doesn't know that the word has a specific meaning.

It's like people thinking "racist" and "bigot" are catch-all insults that can be applied to anybody you don't like.

3. I'm assuming that he doesn't know exactly what bipartisan means.

5. Of course it's bipartisan!

It represents both the right-wing nut jobs *and* the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party!

6. There are no big name Democrats!

And bipartisan usually means that the chair and vice chair are not from the same party! And the fact that all of the Republican members have a been accused of voter suppression of minorities in the past, makes this commission about as effective as a blind man in a mine field!!!

7. it's a sham commission to institute voter fraud.
