https://politicalwire.com/2017/07/05/trumps-voter-fraud-commission-may-broken-law/"SNIP............
President Trumps voter fraud commission may have violated the law by ignoring federal requirements governing requests for information from states, The Hill reports.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, information requests from agencies and other federal entities are supposed to first be submitted to the Office of Management and Budgets Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). This 1980 law requires federal agencies to seek public input, including through a comment period, before a request for information.
Rick Hasen: The Trump commission process has been so poorly handled that whatever it concludes will be likely ignored by serious people, even while the president latches onto it to make it harder for people to register and vote. Hes overplayed his hand, and we should be thankful for that.
