| 词条 | Gregg Phillips |
| 释义 |
is the former head of the Mississippi Department of Human Services and the author of a tweet, cited by U.S. President Donald Trump. The tweet claims that between three and five million non-citizens voted in the 2016 elections.[3][3][4] He has offered no evidence for his claims.[5] CareerIn the 1990s, Phillips campaigned for Republican gubernatorial nominee Kirk Fordice.[6] A year after his election, Governor Fordice in 1993 nominated Phillips to head the Mississippi Department of Human Services. The Mississippi State Senate approved his nomination despite a discrepancy in Phillips' resume uncovered by the Mississippi Joint Committee on Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review. In 1994, he privatized the collection of child support in two Mississippi counties by signing a contract with a private company based in Virginia.[8] Phillips left the Department of Human Services in 1995, "under fire from the Legislature for his management of the state welfare programs."[7] A week after leaving Department of Human Services, Phillips was hired by Synesis Corporation, a division of Centec Learning, which had an $878,000 contract to lease mobile learning labs to the University of Mississippi at Oxford as part of LEAP, a literacy program that Phillips favored when he headed the Department of Human Services.[8] Phillips served as Deputy Commissioner for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission from March 2003 to August 2004.[9] With private consultant Chris Britton, Phillips drafted a 2003 bill privatizing the $1 billion human services system in Texas. The Houston Chronicle found that a company started by Phillips and another company of Britton's received a $670,000 state contract from the Texas Workforce Commission in January 2004.[8] Phillips then ran the health care analytics firm AutoGov.[9] Phillips is described as a "vocal conservative who founded a health-care-data company."[14] Phillips has faced allegations of ethical misconduct and cronyism, including abusing his previous positions in government in both Mississippi and Texas for personal financial gain. According to The Guardian, Phillips owes the U.S. government more than $100,000 in unpaid taxes.[4][7] An investigation by the Associated Press revealed that Philipps was registered to vote in three states. Philipps responded to this investigation by saying, "Doesn't that just demonstrate how broken the system is? That is not fraud — that is a broken system. We need a national ID that travels with people."[10] Phillips' background is somewhat sketchy. According to the website Intelius, Phillips has been employed by both the Alabama and Mississippi Republican parties. He is listed as a resident of the capital city of Austin, Texas.[2] Another website, Mylife.com has Phillips as a graduate (c. 1978) of Sidney Lanier High School in another capital city, Montgomery, Alabama, and a current resident of Bradenton, Florida.[1] Unsubstantiated voter fraud claimsIn 2013, Phillips' firm partnered with the organization True the Vote to, according to Phillips, update and analyze voter registration data in the U.S. to supposedly identify indicators of each person voting such as: citizenship or non-citizenship, identity, and felony status.[11][12] He has asserted that his organization has evidence that between three and five million votes were illegal in the 2016 presidential election. He has, however, not provided the purported evidence for this claim.[13][14][15] Phillips made his voter fraud claims before voter history data was available in most jurisdictions.[14] {{Portalbar|Alabama|Mississippi|Texas|Florida|Business and Economics|Politics}}References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.mylife.com/gregg-phillips/gaphillips1|title=Gregg Phillips|publisher=Mylife.com|accessdate=August 19, 2017}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.intelius.com/people-search/Gregg-E-Phillips/Austin-TX|title=Gregg Allen Phillips|publisher=Intelius.com|accessdate=August 20, 2017}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/27/politics/gregg-phillips-voter-fraud-donald-trump-cnntv/index.html|title=Trump-cited study author (still) refuses to show proof of voter fraud|work=CNN|first=Josiah |last=Ryan|access-date=January 28, 2017}} 4. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/27/trump-voter-fraud-gregg-phillips-unpaid-taxes|title=Trump's voter fraud expert owes US more than $100,000 in unpaid taxes|last=Swaine|first=Jon|date=January 27, 2017|newspaper=The Guardian|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077|access-date=January 28, 2017}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Smith|first1=David|last2=Belam|first2=Martin|title=How a dubious tweet about illegal votes found its way to Trump's megaphone|url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/01/how-a-dubious-tweet-about-illegal-votes-found-its-way-to-trumps-megaphone|work=The Guardian|date=December 1, 2016}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Lussenhop|first1=Jessica|title=Gregg Phillips: The man claiming 3m illegal votes|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38774428|work=BBC News|date=January 28, 2017}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Privatization-role-reveals-ethics-gap-in-state-law-1940898.php|title=Privatization role reveals ethics gap in state law|last=Ratcliffe|first=R.G.|date=January 2, 2005|work=Houston Chronicle}} 8. ^1 2 {{cite news|last1=Mitchell|first1=Jerry|title=Voter fraud probe traced back to ex-MS welfare head|url=http://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2017/01/26/voter-fraud-probe-traced-back-to-ex-mississippi-welfare-head/97094430/|work=The Clarion-Ledger|date=January 26, 2017|language=en}} 9. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Svitek|first1=Patrick|title=Trump's unsupported claim of voter fraud appears to have Texas roots|url=https://www.texastribune.org/2016/11/28/trumps-unsupported-claim-voter-fraud-has-texas-roo/|work=The Texas Tribune|date=November 28, 2016}} 10. ^{{Cite news |first=Garance |last=Burke |url=https://apnews.com/80497cfb5f054c9b8c9e0f8f5ca30a62 |title=AP: Trump's voter fraud expert registered in 3 states |newspaper=AP News |language=en-US |date=January 30, 2017 |access-date=January 31, 2017}} 11. ^{{cite web|last1=Phillips|first1=Gregg|title=The Cause|url=http://thecause.voterstrust.com/issues/2#start|publisher=VotersTrust|accessdate=January 28, 2017}} 12. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Murray|first1=Mark|title=Who is Gregg Phillips, the Man Trump Name-Checked to Prove Voter Fraud?|url=http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/who-gregg-phillips-man-trump-name-checked-prove-voter-fraud-n713186|work=NBC News|accessdate=January 28, 2017}} 13. ^{{Cite news|url=http://bigstory.ap.org/article/7667b3dc411042558b35adf162b5b8a5|title=AP FACT CHECK: Trump cites man's dubious voter fraud claims|newspaper=The Big Story|language=en-US|access-date=January 31, 2017}} 14. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/11/27/trumps-bogus-claim-that-millions-of-people-voted-illegally-for-hillary-clinton/|title=Donald Trump’s bogus claim that millions of people voted illegally for Hillary Clinton|website=Washington Post|access-date=January 31, 2017}} 15. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2016/nov/18/blog-posting/no-3-million-undocumented-immigrants-did-not-vote-/|title=Did 3 million undocumented immigrants vote in 2016?|newspaper=@politifact|language=en|access-date=January 31, 2017}} External links
