kris kobach, secretary of state of kansas.key parts and reasons why trump is sitting in the oval office is that kris kobach created a list of 7 million names to remove from the voter roles about 1.1 million overwhelmingly minority voters. how did he do that? trump said 3 million people were voting twice. it's not a crazy statement unless you think he's crazy like a fox. that accusation that people voting twice was actually used to remove 1.1 million voters based on a list of alleged double voters created by this guy kris kobach. he literally had a list of 7 million names that he claimed 3.5 million people potentially voting twice, they didn't arrest anyone but they removed 1.1 million voters in swing states, including michigan. i was there in michigan, talked to the voting officials. they said that of the half million suspected double voters or double registered voters that kobach gave them, that they aggressively removed tens of thousands. in other words, i would say that we lost 50,000 voters. trump's margin was 10,700. and

you look at kris kobach, the feist chair of-- the commission. he is behind voter suppression efforts, behind into immigrant efforts. he is a very, very powerful and dangerous figure within the republican party, making him the vice chair of this commission shows it is designed for one purpose, to try to suppress the vote. amy: very quickly, less than a minute, the fact that the census director has now quit. can you talk about the significance? >> greasing of the because the census decides who is counted, literally, in terms of congressional -- in terms of congressional representation, who is counted in terms of people getting resources, federal money, government programs. often blacks, latinos, asian americans, low income voters are undercounted already by the census. if the census has no money, you're going to see a further lessening of representation and further lessening of minorities, low-income people counting in society. it is one of those under the radar things that has a big impact on democracy. amy: and it determines how many congress me

host: you talk about kris kobach. he discussed with the "associated press" his preparation for being on this commifplgs and he also talked about his work in kansas which you brought up earlier here's the interview he had with the a.p. just last week. >> i have no conclusions about what the commission will decide or the commission will find. you guys don't know what the numbers are. i have conclusions about kansas. because as secretary of state for the last six plus years, i've been gathering data because we're engaged in litigation against the aclu. so in kansas, i have a very well-informed sense of how widespread voter fraud is, how many case on different forms of voter fraud. but with regards to the other 49 states, i don't have that level of expertise. so all i can say is i have conclusions about kansas that i hold very strongly and i have evidence in kansas that we've gathered that i know is accurate. but with regard with the other 49 states, i don't have the conclusions and the commission itself is a bipartisan g

but items actually i think beyond the optics of this, you know, kris kobach is a controversial figurebelieved to be hupushi certain kinds of voter i.d. laws that democrats say lead to voter suppression. so whether real or not, putting someone that controversial in charge of something that could end up looking like an effort to push certain kinds evof voter i. laws will create political controversy going down the road. this is something that will only extend the issue at a time when he should probably let it fall and move on to things that are more relevant to his agenda especially the economy. >> and matt, let me just say, i'm opposed to voter fraud. i'm opposed to voter suppression. george w. bush appointed a commission headed by jimmy carter and gerald ford. this commission does that appear top in that same spirit especially headed guy kris kobach is fairly controversial. >> i know him and i know of controversies. and one thing i would like to correct is that the funding will have to get approved by congress, that congress can block the funding. and when it comes to the question of

. >> the vice chair is kris kobach, your friend from kansas.an you talk about the threat this commission poses to voting rights as part of the larger backdrop of republicans limiting the right to vote? >> so what this represents is a continuation of the strategy of taking the republican playbook over the last 15 or so years and making voter suppression a fundamental strategic part of it. it's important to remember, this is not a policy disagreement. this is a strategic decision by the republican party politically, just like which doors you're going to knock on. they've made a strategic decision to stop folks from not voting republican by not letting them vote. it will be run with the power of the presidency. it's an enormous step. the first element in their playbook is convince americans there is widespread fraud when there's not. the sitting president is working hard actively to undermine faith in american democracy. >> one of the things you found was -- this year or last year? >> three months ago. >> you told me you felt like progressives wer
