President Donald Trump, who has claimed without evidence that his opponent won the popular vote last year because of fraud, signed a directive Thursday establishing a commission to examine improper voting and voter suppression in federal elections.
The presidential commission will be led by Vice President Mike Pence and include current and former secretaries of state and election officials appointed by Trump, including Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a well known advocate for reduced immigration, said White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
