Trump Establishes Voter Fraud Commission
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday creating a commission aimed at investigating alleged vote fraud — a move that drew swift rebuke from civil liberty groups and liberal lawmakers amid worries the panel’s work could seek to justify voter suppression.
Trump’s order establishes a commission to review alleged voter fraud throughout the American election system. Vice President Mike Pence will head the group, called the “Presidential Commission on Election Integrity.”
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, an immigration hardliner and strict voter identification law advocate mulling a gubernatorial run, will serve as vice chair.
The panel will be tasked with studying “vulnerabilities” in the voting system, as well as potential impacts on “improper voting, fraudulent voter registrations, and fraudulent voting.”
