'There is a 90 percent probability that 85 percent of what I'm saying is pure bullshit' The trial in the ACLU's lawsuit against Kansas's dumb voting law, which requires people to show proof of citizenship just to register to vote, recessed late Tuesday afternoon; it'll pick up again on Monday. But Tuesday's testimony included yet more evidence that the law is built on some extremely dubious assumptions about the supposed threat of non-citizens illegally voting. Even Secretary of State Kris Kobach's own expert witnesses had to admit there isn't a bit of evidence to suggest that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 thanks to millions of illegal immigrants voting. That's the baseless claim that led Donald Trump to set up a presidential commission, led by Kobach, to find out why he was robbed of the popular vote. Oh, huh.
One of the problems with "expert" witnesses is that each side can line up an "expert" to argue its line and it can be hard to distinguish the truth from the special-pleading.
But in this case, it isn't even close. The only reason for letting Richman into court might be to expose him as a professional bullshitter. But what a waste of time and resources.
Did you see the sarcasm meme floating around about CA voting to ensure that only Arabic numbers will be allowed? Snopes actually had to address it due to the number of angry responses. On tablet so can't link, sorry

Hmm, I just noticed that "Kris" Koblach's first name is spelled in a noticeably un-American fashion.
What's wrong with "Chris," Kris? If that is, indeed, your name.
Furthermore, what's with the "Koblach?" Is that an American name?
Are you actually a "co-black?" Possibly, 90% sure from Kenya, a country that notoriously starts with the letter K, just like Hawaii?
Put this guy on a Commission. A big, beautiful Commission.
Shorter Kris Kobach Krewman:
"We had to use the foreign sounding names, since we can't see what color their skin is"

So did Richman flag foreign sounding names like Hans von Spakovsky?
(((Jesus)))
Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.
My guess is that the people of PR will need those tents for quite a bit longer.
Riiiight. And you lot can't even find an electron if it's moving.
It's PUBLIC history!
Also read Nancy Maclean's Democracy in Chains.
A very under rated film.
"Were your reports peer reviewed?"
"What reviewed?"
"Peer. P-E-E-R"
"No. And I object! What do Donald Trump's hookers have to do with this??"
"One: You can't object, you're a witness, And two: it's 'peer,' not 'pee-er.' "
Turn on that Dawnzer, Ramona!
"Pier reviewed? Why would a pier review a report?"
"Tell us about your German great-grandparents, also, Kris. They were immigrants, were they not?"
