There is an explosive confrontation happening in court right now between Dale Ho, top ACLU voting rights lawyer, and Hans von Spakovsky of the Heritage foundation and one of the biggest voices saying voter fraud is a widespread problem
Ho hasn’t spoken since the first day of the trial but he’s cross examining von Spakovsky. He’s clearly been waiting. He started by going after von Spakovsky’s credentials, questioning whether he really had the background to say voter fraud is a big problem.
He repeatedly asked von Spakovsky whether he could name one voting restriction that was a burden. He asked him over and over. Von Spakovsky wouldn’t really answer. Then they played his deposition when he said just that.
Aside from Ho, Judge Robinson also confronted von Spakovsky. He said that any time a non eligible person cast a ballot it was voter fraud because they were diluting a legitimate vote. But Robinson wanted to know if it would also be fraud if thousands of citizens were blocked
We haven’t seen Judge Robinson ask about stuff in this way before.
Dale also keeps playing video tapes on Von Spakovsky’s deposition instead of just relying on transcripts. The video has an effect. Kobach is upset that Ho keeps doing that.
to impeach von Spakovsky’s credibility Dale showed an email he wrote saying no mainstream democrats or Republicans should be on Trump’s voter fraud commission. We’re on break while Kobach reviews transcript of a @JessicaHuseman interview where Von Spakovsky denied sending to DOJ
Going back into court now
