“Our democracy depends on the American people's faith in our elections,” Weintraub wrote. “Your voter-fraud allegations run the risk of undermining that faith.”

In February, Trump told a group of senators that “thousands” of people were “brought in on buses” from Massachusetts to “illegally” vote in New Hampshire, according to Politico. White House adviser Stephen Miller then called the issue of Massachusetts voters being bused into New Hampshire “very real” and “very serious.”

Last month, a team of Dartmouth College researchers examined the voting patterns in New Hampshire and found no evidence to support assertions of large-scale voter fraud.

Weintraub's letter comes a month after she issued a statement publicly calling on Trump to immediately share his proof of illegal voting. In an interview with The Washington Post, she said she decided that it was necessary to make her request directly to the president in a letter after hearing from voters nationwide who were concerned about his allegations.

“I didn’t get any response,” she said of her first statement. “I tweeted it, and he likes Twitter, so I thought maybe he would see it. But I thought it was time for maybe a more direct approach.”

The president's words carry huge weight, Weintraub said, and could trigger serious consequences. “People have become so polarized, not only in terms of their ideology, but in terms of what facts they are willing to accept,” she said.

Trump put Vice President Pence in charge of a task force to look into his allegations of voting irregularities, including his claim about illegal votes in New Hampshire, a state he lost by a narrow margin. Weintraub rejected that approach as “backward.”

“This is a very specific statement about buses taking people from Massachusetts to New Hampshire,” she said. “Where did that come from? You don’t make a statement and then go out and say, 'Let's have an investigation to see if anyone can find any evidence [that] what I said [is true].' "

Weintraub's first challenge to Trump drew a rebuke from the nonprofit group Cause of Action Institute, which said that allegations of voter fraud fall outside the campaign finance jurisdiction of the FEC. The group sent a letter to the FEC inspector general requesting an investigation of whether Weintraub misused government resources by posting her statement on the agency's website.

In her letter to Trump on Wednesday, Weintraub said that his claim “falls squarely within the jurisdiction” of the FEC because no committee has reported to the agency paying for buses to transport voters. However, there is little chance that her letter will lead to any official action by the FEC, which requires the vote of four out of six commissioners to open an investigation.

Weintraub told The Post that she viewed the Cause of Action response as “an attempt to get me to stop talking about this, and I’m not going to stop talking about this.”

In a statement, James Valvo, counsel and senior policy adviser at the Cause of Action Institute, said that Weintraub "appears to be conducting some kind of self-appointed roving investigation."

"This is not how the FEC operates," he said. "There are procedures in place for the agency to investigate allegations of violations of federal campaign finance law. Those procedure do not include individual commissioners sending public letters demanding evidence."

Valvo said the group is not trying to "silence" Weintraub. "We simply want the FEC and its employees to follow the law and act within the proper framework of their authorizing statute," he said. "She is, of course, free to say whatever she likes on her own time and in her own capacity.”

In response, Weintraub said Trump's claims relate directly to the integrity of the country's elections and how they are financed.

"As a commissioner at the Federal Election Commission, when I hear the president level an allegation that risks damaging America's faith in our elections -- not to mention constituting a major violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act -- you can bet I'm going to ask some questions about it," she said. "Did anyone think it was unusual for the FBI to follow up on the President's wiretapping allegations?"
