Trump Establishes Voter Fraud Commission- May 11 2017

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."

We'll see. From what I've read, there have been a LOT of such "study groups" being created under Trump. A study group doesn't usually do anything, they look and make recommendations. And spend tax payer money.

Isn't that what state law enforcement and the FBI is for?

Trump's order establishes a commission to review alleged voter fraud throughout the American election system.

Good luck with that.
There are something like hundreds to thousands of different, disparate, systems in use "throughout the American election system."

For it to be in any way effective he would have to create an entirely new agency.
How effective has the Federal Elections Commission been in enforcing campaign finance laws.

“The likelihood of the laws being enforced is slim,” Ann M. Ravel, the chairwoman, said in an interview. “I never want to give up, but I’m not under any illusions. People think the F.E.C. is dysfunctional. It’s worse than dysfunctional.”


But this time it's different!
