A member speaks out on Trump's fake vote fraud commission

Al.Com, Alabama [- Jefferson County Presiding Probate Judge Alan King, one of the 11 members of a presidential commission looking into possible voter fraud in last year's election, was not aware the panel had been disbanded until President Donald Trump made the public announcement.

"This came out of the blue," King told AL.com.

King, the lone Alabama representative and one of several Democrats on the commission, was a frequent critic of the panel. He said any attempt by Trump to continue investigating voter fraud claims would be a "wild goose chase."

King said he expected the committee to bring testimony and evidence to show instances of possible voter fraud, but never saw anything of that nature. "It would be a tremendous burden to prove that." He also said he expected the commission would be professional, transparent, and organized-- but that wasn't the case.

"Throughout my career I have been involved in civic groups, church groups, high school groups, that were run better than this commission. And to say that is a disappointment would be an understatement," he said.
