In a private meeting with congressional Republicans this week, Vice President Pence vowed that the Trump administration would pursue a wide-ranging probe of voting rolls in the United States to examine whether millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 election as President Trump has charged.
“What I can tell you is that I would anticipate that the administration is going to initiate a full evaluation of voting rolls in the country, the overall integrity of our voting system in the wake of this past election,” Pence told Republican lawmakers during a question-and-answer session at their annual policy retreat in Philadelphia this week.
The vice president’s comments, captured in a recording obtained by The Washington Post, give the clearest indication yet of how the Trump administration intends to investigate whether 3 million to 5 million people voted illegally in the 2016 general election, an unsupported claim Trump has made. In the recording, Pence invoked a study that Trump has falsely claimed shows widespread voter fraud. “Just because so many Americans share the concern that you have, I have, the president certainly has about people being registered in multiple states,” Pence added. “You can anticipate that we will be looking for ways to work with you, to simply dig into it, to follow the facts, to see where the facts go. That one-person, one-vote principle is at the very heart of this republic and our democratic institutions, and it must be defended.”
Pence was responding to a question from Rep. Mo Brooks (Ala.), who complained about what he said were his own experiences with voter fraud in his district. Brooks offered to help Trump investigate such claims from his perch in Congress, saying, “I pledge to support you in any way I can.”

Without voter fraud there would be much less blue. The left is basically a criminal cartel.
Second significant recorded leak from a meeting with Congressional Republicans in a week.
A recording of a private meeting. There’s a traitor in the room!
Stopping vote fraud is what scares the hell out if the Democrat party. The protesters are jus paid idiots.
This is a top priority issue. Our republic is at stake as the Rats try to turn us over to our invaders for plunder and worse.
Agreed, if anything the protesters piss people off, but the voter fraud is more of a bigger, more dangerous case for this country.
“...an unsupported claim Trump has made.”
VERY GOOD, Washington Post - you guys are improving. Trump’s claim (of 3 to 5 million illegal votes) is unsupported, but it is NOT A LIE (as they were all saying last week), since no one has investigated.
But I’m REALLY GLAD that this conversation was recorded because, for the Snowflakes, it means that even getting rid of Trump will not be enough. Pence will follow in his footsteps, at least on this issue, and probably most everything else. It will show them just how futile their effort is...and maybe they’ll get back to school in time to study for their Pysch Midterms.
Obama would not have won a second term if this had been done before that election. Some important counties gave him over 100%—yeah right. Romney was such a light weight.
“In the recording, Pence invoked a study that Trump has falsely claimed shows widespread voter fraud.”
Actually that study was reported in the Washington Post as factual, at the time - but there was a HUGE DIFFERENCE back then, as it was just before the 2014 election, and the study was trying to prove how Republicans could steal that election.
Now that Trump is using the study, its authors have disavowed it (likely because they want their kids to make it adulthood), and thus it doesn’t apply anymore.
I think Rush, or one of his guests explained the above.
“A recording of a private meeting. There’s a traitor in the room!”
— not only that, but likely a crime committed.
And so now where is the leftist media Podesta Warning that it is illegal to read anything leaked from a private conversation?
Does that only apply to Wikileaks? Why might that be?
“Without voter fraud there would be much less blue. The left is basically a criminal cartel.”
After the 2000 Presidential election debacle (hanging chads, anyone?) there should have been a top to bottom investigation and standardization of the voting practices in every state. People should have to re-verify their eligibility, in person, with proof of citizenship, every 10 years! No more phantom voters, dead voters, double voters, mail-in ballots, absentee voters (except in extenuating circumstances), etc!
Here in Washington State, Maria Cantwell “won” the Senate seat over Slade Gorton and Christine Gregoire “won” the governorship over Dino Rossi because of blatantly fraudulent ballots that magically appeared in King County, once the rest of the state was counted.
This needs to happen NOW or we are going to continue to see races thrown, locally and nationally!
Make America Great Again
Bingo! We have a winner!!
By my reckoning in order to investigate voter fraud you have to start with voter registration.
in Florida it is a 3rd degree felony to submit false information on the voter registration form.
One of the questions on the Florida form is: “Are you a citizen of the USA?”. Does anyone know if that question is asked on all 50 states’ voter registration forms?
Until we investigate the voter registration rolls in each and every state we will not know if there is voter fraud.
An investigation seems pretty easy to me. Have people submitted proof of citizenship when they registered to vote or have they not? Yes or no is an easy answer to that question.
We must never forget that a privilege of being a citizen of the USA is that we have the right to vote and anybody else does not have that right.
Let’s drain our Nationwide Swamp and give every voter one year to find their proof of citizenship and bring it to their Registrar of Voter office to have it verified.
This is good.
Some important counties gave him over 100%—yeah right.

Do you have any info, links on that?
In the past few days I did a Google News search with the words “Trump Voter Fraud”.
There were well over 1,000 newspapers who had published a story about “Trump Voter Fraud” and I could only find one newspaper who somewhat supported President Trump’s plan to investigate voter fraud.
When the overwhelming majority of news media oppose something and almost none of them take the time to even take a look at the other side, then I know President Trump is correct in saying he must investigate our voting process and determine if fraud is rampant or not.
At the end of the day if no fraud is found, then many of us will feel more secure in our system of government. If massive fraud is found, then we need to clean it up immediately.
Have people submitted proof of citizenship when they registered
to vote or have they not?
*************
Does any state require proof of citizenship or do they all
just asked if you are a citizen? Do you know of any?
