2016 ELECTION/MIKE PENCE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/VOTER FRAUD: “President Donald Trump dissolved the commission he created just eight months ago to investigate his unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in the 2016 election, bringing an end to a panel that had faced resistance from state election officials.
Mr. Trump formed the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity in May and installed Vice President Mike Pence as chairman after blaming voter fraud for his loss in the popular vote to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The panel was created despite independent experts saying there was no evidence to support his claim of widespread fraud, whether by illegal immigrants or others.
Mr. Trump lost the nationwide popular vote to Mrs. Clinton by about 2.9 million votes, but won the electoral college due to narrow victories by the Republican in several states that had gone for Democrats in recent elections…
On Wednesday [1-3-18], the White House blamed the panel’s demise on states that refused to provide voter information. Mr. Trump signed an executive order to dissolve the commission, and asked the Department of Homeland Security to review voting issues and determine the next course of action.”
