friday 7/7/2017 CALL TO ACTIVISM FOR DEMOCRACY!
trump is unable to cope with the fact he lost the popular vote by the largest margin in history.
"Unable to cope with the brutal fact that he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by 2.9 million votes, the largest vote deficit of any president in American history, Donald Trump tweeted that he would have won the popular vote but for “millions of people who voted illegally.”
"Instead of producing any credible evidence to support this claim, a hoax that has been repeatedly and decisively debunked by experts, the President doubled down and issued an Executive Order establishing the “Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity” (PACEI), appointing Kris Kobach, anti-immigration warrior and poster-child for voter fraud conspiratorialists everywhere, to lead the Commission."
"There is no denying that our election system is under assault, but not in the way Trump imagines. Instead of wasting taxpayer money to fund an investigation into voter fraud, which is as mythical as a unicorn, American democracy would be better served by focusing on and correcting the real problems with our elections – voter suppression and external, illegal, and international interference in our national elections." (Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Opinion, The Hill).

trump's voter hoax script
Hello, my name is [NAME HERE] and I am a concerned U.S. citizen from [YOUR STATE]. I am calling my Representative today because I think the president's Voter Fraud Commission is exactly as the name implies: It's a fraud. I am calling on my representative to do everything practicable to denounce the Commission as an unnecessary expense on taxpayers.
According to a comprehensive 2014 study published in The Washington Post, out of more than a billion votes cast between 2000 and 2014, only 31 credible instances of impersonation fraud were found, and even this tiny number was likely inflated because the study’s author counted not just voter fraud prosecutions or convictions but all credible claims. Numerous other reports have reached the same conclusion.
