3. Trump stacks his voter integrity commission with the nations leading voter suppression architects

Trump's voter suppression commission is stacked with some of the nasty and most unethical voter suppressors in the country. http://www.salon.com/2017/06/30/trump-stacks-his-voter-integrity-commission-with-the-nations-leading-voter-suppression-architects/

President Donald Trump’s latest pick to help run the election commission will not ease the concerns of several state officials who already refusing to comply with the commission’s invasive probe. Hans von Spakovsky, a Heritage Foundation fellow known for hyping the voter fraud narrative for decades, was chosen Thursday by the Trump administration to another well-known advocate of voting restrictions, Kris Kobach, in a national voter fraud investigation.

Trump, along with other Republicans who embrace voter suppression, point to the work of von Spakovsky to peddle the myth of massive voter fraud. However, von Spakovsky has a history of exaggerating the prevailing nature of voter fraud, according to the Huffington Post. To the point, the White House has failed to provide any evidence of the president’s claim that over 3 million people illegally voted in California during the 2016 election....

To make matters worse, Kobach was recently fined for misleading the court in a case involving the National Voting Registration Act.
