Washington, DC -- Today, Donald Trump’s voting commission held its first meeting, where Trump and Mike Pence gave conflicting remarks. As it has been heavily reported, there are numerous reports showing that there has never been a single case of major voter fraud in America, and a study examining voting between 2000 and 2014 found only 31 credible instances of in-person voter fraud.
In response, Sierra Club Democracy Program Director Courtney Hight released the following statement:
“This administration’s voting commission is nothing more than a sham perpetuating a dangerous myth in order to indulge Donald Trump’s conspiracy theory. If Trump were truly interested in the integrity of our voting system, he would look to expand voting access to Americans seeking to exercise their Constitutionally-granted right and acknowledge the fact that Russia meddled in our election and cooperate with the investigations.”
