Kobach raises a mathematical possibility of how election outcomes could have been altered illegally in New Hampshire, and overstated the possibility as if it were the only possibility. State officials and others countered with an alternative possibility, which fits Dionne's Democratic narrative, so he overstates this as the only possibility and hypocritically calls Kobach a fraud.

The Election Commission's purpose is to insure fair elections, so raising possibilities is entirely legitimate, as is raising alternative possibilities. Until someone actually checks with those people who registered with out of state licenses to see if they are legitimate voters we will never know the actual truth. It seems New Hampshire officials don't want to allow that, so we already know what they fear the truth is. When those in power can hide the truth, democracy is damaged. E.J. Dionne is their shill.
