NEW YORK 鈥 President Trump is expected to sign an executive order later today establishing a 鈥淧residential Commission on Election Integrity.鈥 The commission vice chair will reportedly be 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.

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

鈥淎s President Trump鈥檚 own lawyers have said, 鈥楢ll available evidence suggests that the 2016 general election was not tainted by fraud or mistake.鈥 Signing a piece of paper will not make Trump鈥檚 false statements about voter fraud true. This commission, to be co-led by King of Voter Suppression Kris Kobach, is a sham. We call on professional elections administrators, serious academics, and elected officials to refuse to participate in what will be a pretext for disenfranchising Americans.

鈥淭he United States has one of the lowest turnout rates in the developed world, and we should be doing everything we can to encourage more people, not fewer, to participate in our democracy.鈥
