That case is actually a bit funny when you read the details...although the Post article does not see the humor and when you think of the non validated charges thrown around by the President and when you look at the statistics that come out after years of investigation.....you gotta smile how anyone believes anything this President ever says.
"On Wednesday night, President Trump abruptly announced he was disbanding his Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. This was the panel charged with finding proof of Trump’s absurd claim of millions of illegal voters, and it went downhill from the beginning. But while the panel has vanished, its spurious arguments remain widespread. Claims of voter fraud still form the basis of efforts to suppress the vote across the country. Now can we call a stop to that effort, too?"

"It’s easy to cheer the demise of President Trump’s so-called election integrity commission, which he disbanded abruptly on Wednesday, just eight months after establishing it.
Many send-offs come to mind. Some, like the one a White House adviser used in an interview with CNN, are unprintable in a family newspaper. We’ll stick with the words of Senator Bob Casey, Democrat of Pennsylvania: “Good riddance.”
The commission was a transparent sham from the start, nothing more than a cover to justify Mr. Trump’s reckless and unfounded claims about widespread voter fraud in the 2016 presidential election, which he blamed for his losing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by nearly three million votes.
The lying continued on Wednesday. In a brief executive order, the president said he was ending the commission “despite substantial evidence of voter fraud” — but the commission turned up no such evidence, substantial or otherwise.
