https://t.co/0afsvqCTB8President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order today establishing a commission to review alleged voter fraud and voter suppression in the American election system, multiple senior administration officials tell ABC News.
The officials say Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach will be announced as Chair and Vice Chair of the Presidential Commission on Election Integrity in a press release today. It's not clear whether the White House will allow coverage of the order signing.
The commission, which will include Republicans and Democrats, will be tasked with studying "vulnerabilities" in U.S. voting systems and potential effects on "improper voting, fraudulent voter registrations and fraudulent voting," according to one official with knowledge of the announcement.
In the aftermath of the 2016 election, Trump claimed widespread voter fraud explained why former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton emerged with nearly 3 million more popular votes. To date, neither Trump nor his team has provided evidence to substantiate the claims, but they have promised an investigation.
You can never really find, you know, there are going to be -- no matter what numbers we come up with there are going to be lots of people that did things that we're not going to find out about, Trump told ABC News' David Muir in January. "But we will find out because we need a better system where that can't happen."

(42,770 posts)a "oh, those votes were probably all bogus." (I am so great, she could not have won - Narcissism). But - he lived through the reaction to this - he lived through the time when everyone said he was crazy.
To continue - it another thing.
You are right - delusion. There are echos of the whole Comey firing behavior - attempting to hide your real motivation behind something else with the delusion that no one will see through it He is acting like he cares about election fraud in general only to hope they find out he really won the popular vote.
But, what will happen, I hope, is that a light will be cast on voter suppression and help us somehow
