"SNIP...........


Donald Trump and his merry band of white supremacists continue to work day and night to make life harder for non-white Americans. In the latest chapter of skullduggery, the voter suppression commission, led by Mike Pence and chief voter suppression champion Kris Kobach, is refusing to follow federal law regarding proper use of email, according to a report by ProPublica.

Yes, you read that correctly: After years of pretending that Hillary Clinton’s misuse of email was the biggest scandal in the history of the universe, Pence and his cronies are blatantly ignoring federal law regarding email use and retention.

The commission “came under fire earlier this month when a lawsuit and media reports revealed that the commissioners were using private emails to conduct public business,” ProPublica notes, adding that Kobach “confirmed this week that most of them continue to do so.”

While the commission may be trying to hide communications between members, its overarching purpose is still very clear: to suppress the voting rights of poor people, young people, racial minorities, and other demographic groups more likely to vote for Democrats.

3. Pence has misused email before

No surprise

Pence used personal email for state business — and was hacked

Emails released to IndyStar in response to a public records request show Pence communicated via his personal AOL account with top advisers on topics ranging from security gates at the governor’s residence to the state’s response to terror attacks across the globe. In one email, Pence’s top state homeland security adviser relayed an update from the FBI regarding the arrests of several men on federal terror-related charges.

Cyber-security experts say the emails raise concerns about whether such sensitive information was adequately protected from hackers, given that personal accounts like Pence's are typically less secure than government email accounts. In fact, Pence's personal account was hacked last summer.
