Tierney Sneed for TPM (behind paywall):

We already know from various court filings that President Trump’s voter fraud commission — and Kris Kobach’s claims, after its dissolution, that the Department of Homeland of Security was continuing its work — caused the administration a major headache.

But now, thanks to hundreds of pages of DHS emails that were released on Thursday  as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, we have a behind-the-scenes look at the chaos the commission and its dissolution caused the agency.

The emails also suggest the Department was more involved with the commission’s work than originally known, and the emails give more details on DHS’ decision-making process as it considered continuing the commission’s work once it was disbanded.
