President Trump is nominating an elections official to the commission tasked with improving states’ voting systems who worked to make it harder for people to vote in his state.
Trump announced Wednesday that he’s nominating Donald L. Palmer to be a member of the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), a government body formed in the wake of the disastrous 2000 election to help states update and improve their voting systems and protect election security.
Palmer, a policy advisor for the EAC and the former Virginia State Board of Elections secretary, has a long history of using error-riddled lists to inaccurately purge voters from the rolls, misinforming voters about their registration status, and pushing for laws that disenfranchise low-income, minority voters.
In 2013, Virginia’s GOP-controlled legislature unanimously passed a law requiring the Board to Elections to coordinate its voter rolls with other states and jurisdictions. Under the law, Virginia would participate in the Voter Registration Crosscheck Program, the brainchild of Kansas Secretary of State and notorious vote suppressor Kris Kobach (R).
