Civil Rights attorney Cornell William Brooks debunked claims of voter fraud on Monday, and said the real issue at hand is providing better access to the polls.
“We don’t have a real problem with voter fraud, so this president — God bless him — created this commission to look high and low spending millions of dollars and untold hours of bureaucracy looking for voter fraud — we didn’t find any,” Brooks told Hill.TV co-hosts Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton on “Rising.”
Brooks is referring to Trump’s Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which was disbanded in January after it failed to find any credible evidence of voter corruption in the 2016 election.
Brooks, who is the former president of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), said a bigger problem that voter fraud is access to the polls. He said more should be done to get people registered to vote, and to make ie easier to get to the polls.
“What we do have as a problem in this country – in this democracy – is not voter fraud, but insufficient voter turnout, insufficient voter registration and we can fix that,” Brooks told Hill.TV.
He said lawmakers should “allow people to use library cards, utility bills” as proof that they are eligible go vote.
