What the Executive Order says
Executive Order (EO) 13820 is entitled "Termination of Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity" and has 2 sections. It was originally issued in January of 2018.Section 1
This section revokes EO 13799 from May of 2017.Section 2
This section includes the standard fine print asserting the constitutionality of the EO.My Commentary
Well, after a lot of controversy, the commission on Election Integrity, which was intended to try and prove that 3 -5 million fraudulent votes had been cast in favor of the Democratic nominee such that the President had won the popular vote, was shut down.With respect to the politics of the situation, it was really quite a serious embarrassment for the Republican party, but it was necessary since the commission had been repudiated and it had become clear that it was established on a lie.
