Target: Donald Trump, President of the United States
Goal: Support the dissolution of the panel created to investigate Trump’s claims of nonexistent ‘voter fraud’ in the 2016 presidential election.
President Donald Trump has dissolved the voter fraud commission that he created in May to look into his own allegations of illegal voting. The panel was strongly opposed by many—including state election officials—on the grounds that Trump’s claim that he would have won the popular vote, “if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally,” was unsubstantiated and false. Following petitions like this one at ForceChange, and the refusal of many states to comply with the voter fraud commission’s requests for personal voter information, the White House announced that the commission will be scrapped.
The official statement from the White House was that President Trump chose to dissolve the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity “rather than engage in endless legal battles at taxpayer expense.” This outcome is positive for our country not only financially, but also for our democracy as a whole. Many feared that the true consequence of having the commission in place would be the suppression of left-leaning votes, which is unconstitutional and dangerous. Sign below to support the scrapping of the voter fraud commission.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear President Trump,
Your decision to dissolve the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity is the right choice for our country and our democracy. Your claims that the result of the 2016 popular vote were due to millions of instances of voter fraud were unsubstantiated, and were disputed by election officials in states across the country.
The commission existed at the expense of the taxpayer, and also perpetuated voter suppression by allowing certain state lawmakers to make rules based on false or inflated claims of fraud. I support the choice to do away with this unnecessary and harmful panel.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
