Flawed From The Start – The Presidential Commission on Election Integrity. Foreword. For nearly five decades, Common Cause has been at the forefront of the fight for a democracy that works for everyone. No matter who is in office, of whatever party, we hold them accountable by empowering citizen participation and engagement. When we first heard President Trump make irresponsible, unfounded claims that “three to five million illegal votes” were cast in his election, we were prepared for the possibility that he would follow up with unjust – and perhaps illegal – action to deprive millions of qualified Americans of their right to vote. Months later, when he created his Presidential Commission on Election Integrity (PCEI), we were not surprised to see him stack it with a number of individuals well- known for crafting policies designed to take voters off the rolls and make voting more difficult for those who remain.

The PCEI has given us every indication that it will engage in phony or flawed investigations to endorse policies that kick eligible voters off of the rolls. We are also concerned with how the PCEI is compiling its data.

That is why we have filed suit against the PCEI and have taken up educational efforts like this one: to hold power accountable, and to keep you informed and aware of your rights. And we’ll be here every step of the way as the PCEI continues to act. Thank you for your continued support – and for your active participation as a citizen. It takes every one of us to make this democracy truly representative of us all. Shortly after he was elected, President Trump tweeted that “in addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” 1 Meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill shortly after his inauguration, he reiterated the claim, stating that three to five million people voted illegally, all in favor of Hillary Clinton, who won the popular vote nationally by more than 2.

They would all be for the other side.” 3. Trump alleged that part of the problem is double registrations: “You have people registered in two states. They’re registered in a New York and a New Jersey. They vote twice.” 4. The president’s claims are deceitful and fabricated, a long list of nonpartisan experts agree. As The Washington Post reported in January, the “claim [of widespread voter fraud] is not supported by any verifiable facts, and analyses of the election found virtually no confirmed cases of voter fraud, let alone millions.” 6 Double registrants may be common – Americans move regularly – but double votes are exceedingly rare. Election administrators, the people with firsthand knowledge of voting systems’ strengths and vulnerabilities, generally agree that their systems do not enable double voting.

Inquiries [by the New York Times] to all 5. Kansas responded] found no states that reported indications of widespread fraud.” 9 And across the country, election officials have voter verification tools - including signature matching and post- election audits - in place to detect and prosecute the rare instances that do occur. Undeterred by these facts, the president issued an executive order on May 1. Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. In a tweet, he dubbed it, “the very distinguished VOTER FRAUD PANEL.” 1. This report demonstrates that the commission has been flawed from the start. It was premised on false claims about widespread voter fraud.

Its membership lacks the ideological balance of previous, successful presidential commissions that addressed election administration. Its leaders have records of pushing policies that make it harder to vote. And it has failed to adhere to established federal standards for the conduct of such studies, and other federal obligations. Rather than undertaking a serious and much- needed study of reforms that would protect and strengthen the integrity of our elections, the commission is geared to provide a platform for policies that will roll back voting rights. Its direction flies in the face of state actions to implement commonsense reforms to make our elections more modern and secure, including online voter registration, automatic registration, and early voting. The Commission's Goals. To justify his falsehoods about fraudulent votes, the president established the “Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity” by executive order.

Pence and Kobach have backed the president’s false claim that “illegal votes” cost him the popular vote majority. In December, Pence called the president’s “right to express his opinion … refreshing.” 1. More recently, Kobach told journalists that Trump was “absolutely correct when he says the number of illegal votes cast exceeds the popular vote margin between him and Hillary Clinton.” 1. Senior Trump aide Kellyanne Conway, who coined the term “alternative facts” to describe White House falsehoods on other matters, told ABC News that the president based his claims about illegal voting, in part on Kobach’s analysis. In just its first three months, the commission has made errors that threaten voters’ privacy, undermine transparency in government, and could kick eligible voters off the rolls. Its actions have also spawned multiple legal actions.

The ACLU and Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights have filed lawsuits alleging the commission has violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) for, among other things, failing to provide notice of its first meeting, failing to open its meetings to the public, and failing to make public various documents. The president has stacked the commission with government officials and other advocates who have used their other positions to advocate for laws that make voting more difficult for underrepresented segments of the eligible population. The ACLU’s lawsuit also alleges that the commission’s membership violates FACA for its inadequate balance in the points of view represented on the panel.
