“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,” he said last November. Addressing the alleged ballot-box cheating has been on Trump’s to-do list since the Inauguration, and in July he took a big step towards solving a problem that may or may not exist that by establishing a commission to investigate voter fraud, headed by Vice-President Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. Their first move (asking every state to turn over voter registration data) was a disaster online, and time has only deepened Social’s distaste for the commission, which now gets 82 percent negative sentiment. That might have something to do with an email released late Tuesday that revealed the plans of some commission members to exclude Democrats and mainstream Republicans from the probe. Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, said in the email that Pence’s plans for a bipartisan commission doomed the project to failure. “There isn’t a single Democratic official that will do anything other than obstruct any investigation of voter fraud,” von Spakovsky said. –Hugo Guzman
