Vice President Mike Pence says it will be an “honor” to lead President Trump’s commission on voter fraud.
“At the very center of our democracy is the integrity of the vote — the one person, one vote principle,” Mr. Pence said in an interview with Fox News posted Monday. “And it’ll be my honor to lead that commission on behalf of the president and to look into that and give the American people the facts.”
Mr. Pence said Mr. Trump is committed to “really looking into the errors and flaws in our voter logs — the possibility of wide scale voter fraud that’s [taken] place in the country.”
Mr. Trump has said he believes between 3 million and 5 million illegal votes could have been cast in last year’s election, and that none of those votes would have benefited him.
The president announced in an interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly that aired Sunday that Mr. Pence will head up a commission to look into things.
