Trump Faces New Failure As Democrat Proposes Amendment To Defund His Voter Fraud Commission

Congresswoman Betty McCollum (D-MN) will propose an amendment that will ban Trump from using any federal money to fund his voter fraud commission.

Rep. McCollum office described her amendment as, “A simple, one-sentence proposal: ‘None of the funds made available by this Act may be used for the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, as established under Executive Order 13799 (82 Fed. Reg. 22389; relating to ‘‘Establishment of Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity’’).”

“President Trump’s sham election commission exists to justify his outrageous falsehoods about ‘illegal voting’ and to further the Republican Party’s voter suppression agenda,” Congresswoman McCollum said. “This commission is an affront to our democracy and a waste of taxpayer dollars. The American people should not have to foot the bill to indulge President Trump’s Twitter rants and conspiracy theories.”

The House Appropriations Committee is likely to vote down the amendment along party lines, but Democrats aren’t sitting back and allowing this president to carry out a massive voter purge without trying to stop him. The Election Integrity Commission is a sham, which is why the states have so roundly refused to hand over sensitive voter data.

Democrats are fighting back, and if Republicans care at all about states’ rights and the private information of voters, they will also support McCollum’s amendment.
