President 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.

Trump fires FBI Director James Comey 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.

Wew! It's happening!!

Here we go! National Voter ID!

And it will be used against the American people when the next democrat administration is in power.

Poorly written laws eventually become tools of oppression.

If the smelly lefties have been throwing the mother of all hissyfits since comey was canned, this should off them with the mother of all epileptic seizures.

OK, first off we need many, many arrests of double voter snowbirds. Get the low-hanging fruit first and let the shock set in.

Investigate illegal alien voting as Public Interest Legal Foundation did.

During the next election Election Integrity Commission agents need to be in the voter fraud hotspots.

Lots of undercover agents in political parties.

We NEED PSAs against election fraud in Spanish and English with text scrolling in the background of arrests. Doesn't matter if liberal media TV won't play them. Put them on the internet.

Make American Elections Honest Again!

We already know that the dems/media use “polls” as a tool to suppress the vote. We all either know or suspect that there is widespread voting by illegals, dead people, and other forms of voter fraud. What we don’t know for sure is the extent voter fraud influences elections, and this should be cleared up, and should have been cleared up decades ago, but the dems haven’t shown any interest in doing so, because they are the ones who benefit from voter fraud and voter suppression.

Beautiful use of Kobach!

(Let’s hope he’s informally helping them on illegals deportation issues too.)

And it will be used for the American people after a Republican admin regains power. #optimism :)

Aside from prosecuting both programmers and vote counters at county levels so they stop, RATS could shut down elections using antifa-type actions and cause an instant civil war. Safeguards must be put in place now before they solidify their plans.

And it will be used against the American people when the next democrat administration is in power.

There is always that possibility.

Alternatively you set up the commisssion for a specific period of time, do the work, implement the findings and disband the committee ans such that a new administration has nothing to work with

Every morning is Christmas with President Trump.

7 1/2 more years of this, and I still won’t be tired of winning!

I thought the popping sound I’ve been hearing was the new Oreo fireworks cookie with the pop rock filling- turns out it is random liberal heads exploding in the distance...

They can’t win if they don’t cheat.

[BobL]

It is already being used against us - but hopefully it will END.

[Blue Turtle]

I second that. It is a great tactic too that he uses. He pivots...everyone talking Comey, now pivots to elections... media will be talking about election fraud now. Amazing.

To date, neither Trump nor his team has provided evidence to substantiate the claims, but they have promised an investigation.

Used to be the "reporters" would investigate claims themselves.

The complete lack of curiosity tells me the "reporters" are nothing but paid critics.

“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’”

Good move. Put the FBI or Dept. or Justice investigators on it if necessary. If the commissioners of elections in places like Lost Angeles won’t cooperate, seize their voting records in raids.
