No federal funds for unfounded voter fraud investigation
On 25 January 2017 the President of the United States has declared that he wants to launch a massive investigation into voter fraud that he believes caused 3 to 5 million votes to be cast for his opponent.
He has provided no credible evidence of this claim, which even mainstream media are now widely referred to as a "debunked claim." Even Republican legislators, including House Speaker Ryan and Senator Graham, have said they do not believe the claim and that the President's obsession with this claim is undermining belief in the US democratic system.
We therefore ask the Congress of the United States to pass a law that declares that no funds from the US Treasury shall be employed to fund an investigation of voter fraud in the November 2016 election.

Why is this important?
The President of the US desires to launch a costly investigation based on debunked claims, at a cost to the U.S. taxpayers, and undermining the trust Americans place in their elections as a result.
