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.
Trumps 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 Trumps 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 wouldnt investigate whether such widespread voter fraud had occurred, Trump called for a major investigation in a Wednesday tweet.

Why would an illegal register to vote, unless they actually planned to vote?
Wouldn’t it be interesting to learn that Obama didn’t really win either of his elections?
What are the chances?
“I haven’t seen any evidence to that effect,”
This is a huge problem. The only reason Trump won was because it was a landslide that overshadowed the fraud. The motor voter law in California is all the evidence you need. This is one of the most important issues of our time. Lets make sure the people registered to vote have the constitutional right to vote.
Illegal voting is a felony. Prosecute a few and the problem will quickly dry up.
Yes it is time to investigate, document and prosecute.
EVERYBODY, even the sh*t-stupid dems, admit that Nixon probably won in 1960.
So 57 years later... ????
According to Obama, “when you cast a vote, you are a citizen”.
So there can be no fraud since everyone who voted is now officially a citizen.
Hey, it wasn’t his idea, it was the media’s idea.
My town in Massachusetts sends an annual form listing all the residents on record as residing at each address, and an indication of which residents are registered to vote.
You have to make corrections/additions, sign the form and return it. Failure to do so results in removal from voter registration files.
Democrat voter fraud has been legend since I was a kid, back in the late 1940s. I hope and pray that Trump launches a serious investigation.
Yes, but all that seems to matter is the hold-over MSM lies. Trump and Spicer are doing a lot of good de-idolizing the WH Press Corps and putting them in their place. Those smug a$$holes need to be taken down several notches.
Every damned one of them big-few sat in the press room and had this frigging smug, pompous leer and look about them. They should actually end up standing in the damn back of the room instead of sitting in the front.
F@ck them. They are infuriating.
How they hell do they know it's 'baseless'...?
Jill Stein's recount showed there were more votes for hilLIARy than the number of people who walked through the door...
Nearly ten years ago, my daughter moved from my house to a different county in the same state. I think she’s re-registered in her new county, but I still receive a ballot for her. I just throw it away. The state apparently isn’t very organized on this matter.
