President Trump signed an executive order today to establish a commission to review alleged voter fraud in the American election system. Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach were announced today as the Chair and Vice Chair of the bipartisan “Presidential Commission on Election Integrity.”
Following the 2016 election, Trump claimed widespread voter fraud explained why former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes. To date, neither Trump nor his team has provided any evidence to substantiate claims of fraud. However, Trump campaign staffer Brandon Hall was found guilty and convicted of ten counts of election fraud in Michigan in November 2016, so the commission shouldn’t need to look very far.
