    In May, 2017, President Trump established the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. The Commission’s creation was predicated on the President’s false assertion that millions of ineligible voters accounted for his loss of the popular vote, and it was widely understood to be a vehicle for promoting policies aimed at voter suppression. In partnership with the Brennan Center for Justice, Protect Democracy submitted several rounds of FOIA requests to multiple agencies connected to the Commission, and in August 2017 filed litigation to enforce those requests. (This FOIA litigation was in addition to a lawsuit that Protect Democracy filed to stop the Commission from unlawfully collecting voter data.) Facing broad advocacy and multipole lawsuits, in January 2018 the President disestablished the Commission. Protect Democracy and the Brennan Center continue to press for the production of documents responsive to its requests, both to bring to light the circumstances of the Commission’s establishment and operation and to ensure that its voter-suppression mandate is not transferred to another government agency.
