NEW YORK 鈥 The Trump administration鈥檚 oft-maligned election commission will hold its second meeting tomorrow 鈥 but will not allow members of the public to speak. The meeting is in New Hampshire. The 老澳门开奖结果 is challenging the commission鈥檚 lack of transparency in court.

President Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes, yet he promotes the lie that voter fraud is to blame. Trump in turn created the commission via executive order. It is led by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, whom the 老澳门开奖结果 has successfully sued numerous times over his voter suppression policies. He was also recently fined by a federal magistrate for making 鈥減atently misleading representations to the court鈥 about documents related to the National Voter Registration Act.

Dale Ho, director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Voting Rights Project, said:

鈥淒onald Trump created this commission because he was humiliated about losing the 2016 popular vote. Then he tapped Kris Kobach, the king of voter suppression, to lead it. Our election process must be secure, fair and transparent, yet Trump and Kobach are using their sham commission to spread the lie of rampant fraud as a Trojan Horse for voter suppression. We won鈥檛 let them get away with it.鈥
