Trump shuts down voter fraud commission
by Ariella Phillips | Jan 3, 2018, 6:58 PM
The Trump administration has ended its controversial voter fraud commission, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders announced Wednesday.
In a statement, the White House said, "Rather than engage in endless legal battles at taxpayer expense, today I signed an executive order to dissolve the Commission, and have asked the Department of Homeland Security to review these issues and determine next courses of action."
The commission has faced numerous legal challenges. It was led by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a staunch supporter of voter ID laws, and Vice President Mike Pence.
"Despite substantial evidence of voter fraud, many states have refused to provide the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity with basic information relevant to its inquiry," the statement added.
