President Trump stirred bipartisan controversy on Wednesday by pledging to launch a “major investigation” into his baseless claim that widespread voter fraud cost him the popular vote in the 2016 presidential election.
Trump’s assertion that as many as 3 million illegal ballots were cast has been disputed by news organizations, state attorneys general and academics who study voter fraud claims. Even Trump’s own legal team conceded last year that there was no evidence of widespread fraud in the election, as part of a court challenge against a recount effort in three Midwestern states.
Trump reiterated the charge in a Monday meeting with congressional leaders. After a reporter asked White House press secretary Sean Spicer Tuesday why Trump wouldn’t investigate whether such widespread voter fraud had occurred, Trump called for a “major investigation” in a Wednesday tweet.

Those would be DEMOCRAT controlled news organizations, state attorneys, and academics. Of course they are going to dispute whatever Trump says.
They should be afraid.
Very afraid.
Because there has been massive fraud.
It has gone on unchecked for decades.

hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Start in California where someone just issued an order to delete the cyber tag where illegals get their driver’s license. Guess why? And on the SOS’s website the ID info on voting? Use your drivers license and if you don’t have one, then a number will be issued to you. WHAT?
I don’t think he would tee this up if he didn’t have a pretty darn good idea that his claims are valid. Trump isn’t stupid.
I'm not sure it's a direct claim. Unless shown otherwise it's an inference AFAIK.
Besides Trump + Stein + McMuffin+ Johnson >50%. H->! did NOT get a majority of the votes.
There is plenty of voter fraud to investigate. Let the LSM prove there is none, like they claim.
OBAMA: Not true. And the reason is, first of all, when you vote, you are a citizen yourself. And there is not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating, et cetera. The sanctity of the vote is strictly confidential in terms of who you voted for....
First, I would investigate what California officials are doing RIGHT NOW, to cover up, destroy, and alter documents or databases that would indicate that there was, in fact, illegal voting in their state.
The ‘fear’ is in getting caught.
I would think that COUNTY CLERKS would be held responsible for not updating their voting roles. Isn’t that their job?
I think a lot of Latino “community organizers” had better start self-deporting - now.
>>It has gone on unchecked for decades.
Yep.

So which is it? If the fears are "baseless", then nothing will be found in an investigation, and there is nothing to fear.
Democrats are "afraid" because it is a HUGE amount worse than they want anyone to believe.
More than 30 Million, more than half, of Hillary's votes, were fraudulent votes. Attendance at her rallies were one ninth the attendance at Trump's rallies. Maybe 89% of Hillary's votes were fraudulent.
Let's see the results of an investigation.
The illegals can blame Barry if their ass ends up in jail. Obama told them to vote and promised that no one would “come after” them. He lied.
To contend that voting fraud does not occur, especially with illegals in California, is tantamount to saying that humans do not poop. It is a universally understood axiom.
I can see people being register in two States. Is there a process to deregister from a State if you move to another state.
The real fraud is if you vote in both states.
If Trump's claim is baseless, why all the anger and fear in the press? Shouldn't they be yawning and ignoring his investigation?
