    He said there was voter fraud, then eliminated it, so no need for the commission!

    Trump dissolves voter fraud commission

    President Donald Trump dissolved his much-touted voter fraud commission on Wednesday, attributing the step to various states' refusal to participate in the board, which was criticized as a misguided step to solve a practically non-existent problem.
    So much winning. Tired of winning yet?

    There was a Vox article about the book, basically stating that while some of the content can be corroborated or Wolff was actually present for, much of it is sketchily sourced. This is unfortunate, as it erodes the trust people can have in the book, and provides ammunition for Trump to say that it’s falsified.

    he is so fucking stupid he STILL doesn't get it. in today's world of hyper attention deficit, if he just ignored it, it would go away. he's giving the book credence by trying to block it and the attention this gets will only lengthen the time it gets attention, not to mention making the writer rich.

    I had some reservations with just the excerpt I read, having trouble believing some of it was true.  I am sure the vast majority of it is true, and even if just 10% of it is true, it is beyond troubling, but yeah, not an ideal situation.

    Not sure if I'll be reading it.  Not sure I want to support what might be considered a loosely sourced book.

    the writing style was also quite suspect; very dramatically written, like a novel, instead of factually written. I agree, I think the writing style and loose sourcing will hurt its validity in the end.

    Simonds appeared to have lost on Election Day by 10 votes, but on Dec. 19, she won a recount by a single vote. The next day, a three-judge panel in Newport News declared a tie based on a previously uncounted vote for Yancey.

    Yes...seriously.  This one has been going on forever.  We still have the three executive seats due to the wipeout.  This is unfortunate, but still a tremendous year for the Democrats here.  Made up 15 seats of the 100 seat house.  Pretty impressive.  BTW, I love Larry Sabato.  No one knows politics and VA politics like him.
