New York City Police Commissioner James O'Neill looks on as U.S. Vice President Mike Pence speaks a meet and greet with NYPD officers and personnel at NYPD headquarters on September 19, 2019 in New York City. Pence was recently registered to run in 2020 for the Republican nomination through a fake Federal Election Comission filing.Did Vice President Mike Pence just register with the FEC to take on"Don the Con" in 2020? The answer, of course, is no.
While a Pence ascent to the White House has been the subject of much speculation over the years, it is highly unlikely that a committee with this name, fictitiously filed, will serve as that vehicle.

In 2016, just months ahead of the presidential election, the agency had to adopt new interim rules in order to manage the influx of fake registrations.
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence concludes his remarks during a naturalization ceremony September 17, 2019 in Washington, DC."The FEC has a process where they flag seemingly false or fictitious registrations and give the filer an opportunity to withdraw or fix it," Erin Chlopak, director of campaign finance strategy at the Campaign Legal Center, told."I'm not aware of penalties usually being assessed for this sort of thing.
