President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday creating a so-called Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. The White House says the commission will be tasked with investigating voter fraud, but critics say it will be wielded to enact policies that further suppress the vote. Trump appointed Vice President Mike Pence as the chair and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach as the vice chair of the commission. Kobach—known as a leading proponent of anti-immigrant and voter suppression laws—was a key figure in drafting Arizona’s notorious anti-immigrant racial profiling law, SB 1070, known as the “show me your papers” law, parts of which have been found unconstitutional. He has pushed for the strictest voter identification laws in the country and advocated for a “proof-of-citizenship” requirement at the state and federal levels. We’ll have more on the voting commission after headlines with The Nation’s Ari Berman.
