US President Donald Trump has closed down a commission he set up to investigate voter fraud in the 2016 election. Trump blamed states’ refusal to cooperate “despite evidence of fraud” he claims cost him the popular vote. US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday to disband a commission investigating voter fraud during the 2016 presidential election. Republican President Trump has alleged that voter fraud cost him the popular vote in 2016. Furthermore, there were fears that by complying they would be legitimizing the notion itself that voter fraud is widespread, something most studies have found to be not the case.
