President Trump plans to name Kris W. Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state who has pressed for aggressive measures to crack down on undocumented immigrants, to a long-promised commission to investigate voting fraud in the United States, a White House official said on Thursday.
The commission is the official follow-through on Mr. Trump’s unsubstantiated claim that several million “illegals” voted for his Democratic rival and robbed him of a victory in the national popular vote.
Mr. Kobach, who has championed the strictest voter identification laws in the country, will be the vice chairman of the commission, which is to be led by Vice President Mike Pence and is expected to include about a dozen others, including state officials from both political parties, the official said. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an announcement expected later on Thursday.

Unsubstantiated claims? Illegals in quotes?
Fake news=Propaganda
MANDATORY MINIMUM 10 year jail term for anyone helping voter fraud.
There was video before last election of democrats stuffing ballots- one woman would stand guard, and another would stuff them in.
Kobach is awesome!!!!!
But, But, But, Minorities are all way way way too stupid to get ID’s
To ask a very basic question: how could any individual with a remit to ensure the integrity of elections NOT pursue voter ID as a necessity?
EXCELLENT move!
Now this is winning!
Kobach could do great things at the federal level with this.
Well, currently it's unsubstantiated. You know it, and I know it, and all of the illegals who voted know it ... but it can't be proven.
Until the next national election and Trump wins in a landslide because everyone who voted for Hillary has either been deported, or left of their own volition.
The "illegals" in quotes is pretty offensive, though.
A) Advocates of Voter ID
B) Advocates of Voter Fraud
Seems to me that the investigation is better carried out by those in the "A" camp.
Yep, and this is called being on the offensive day after day.
The DUh Dems, as some here haven’t figured out yet, that they are the defense day after day.
About a month ago there was a story about the world’s oldest man dying—he claimed to be 142. And there was his picture holding is government-issued photo ID. The government? Indonesia. If Indonesia can pull it off, why can’t the U.S.?
Win!
As a Canadian this puzzles me that people can vote without ID. We just voted in a provincial election. You get a card in the mail with the location and your poll number. You head down to the location, and someone directs you to your polling box. They find you name on the voters list, check your drivers license, and then give you a paper ballot to vote on. Why is that a problem?
What countries in the world don’t have voter id for elections?
Look up “motor voter” and repost.
What countries in the world don’t have voter id for elections?..The USA, the United Sates of America and that place right in the middle of North America.
Voter fraud is much, much more than illegals voting. It is also other illegal and fraudulent voter registrations and it is also fraudulent actors in the precincts voting on behalf of registered voters who did not vote. These two things obviously work in conjunction, but do not have to. Then there is multiple precinct and state registrations by a single person (or fictitious person).
All these and other illegal and fraudulent activities need to be identified, rooted out, people put in jail and new processes put in place which will, once and for all, stop the stealing of elections.
Kris Kobach, a top guy at the Justice Department under John Ashcroft, as a member of GWB Administration, with a crackerjack education, background and strong faith in not only the US Constitution (of which he was a professor at the University of Missouri Law School at Kansas City, MO) but in the faith of those founders who conceived it, with the help of God!
This is excellent, a major swamp draining operation.
