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.

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.

Great move, the only way Trump has a chance of re-election is to go after the cheating. He won last time because the rats underestimated how much
cheating they had to do.

I’m actually going to predict transparent, open source, blockchain, etc., but we’ll see.

IMHO, a commission like this should not be established without a strong sunset provision.

There’s a lot of waste and duplication of effort in the government. Commissions like this are part of the problem.

In today’s government, it’s very difficult to rescind something once it’s created. nobamacare as an excellent example.

That is because it is the seriousness of the charge!

At least that is the excuse the media always uses when they run story after story regarding UNsubstantiated allegations against Republicans.

It would be interesting to discover how so many precincts in the last 3 presidential elections managed to count well over 100% -- more votes than actual voters -- for the Dem candidates.

This issue is as critical for the survival of our free nation as securing our borders. And Trump has picked the perfect person to head the commission.

Kobach has been a champion in this fight for years. And we knows he's been over & hitting the target by all the flack he's been taking from the corrupt leftwing media:

Recall on election night that the 'counts' stopped around 8:30 pm CT for about 3 hours. During that time, the media were helping the Dems look for votes.

I strongly believe they found so many more votes for Trump that, if they cheated much more, too many precincts would have resulted in 120-130% votes -- more votes than actual voters.

A few precincts could be sneaked by, but it would have taken too many to push Clinton over the the line, thus showing overt voter fraud. They finally had to call it for Trump.

The complete lack of curiosity tells me the "reporters" are nothing but paid critics.
They are critics - but critics, specifically, of society:
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil . . . - Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)

Those “critics” are those whom Paine referred to as “some writers,” and they are socialists (if they weren’t self-styled “objective reporters,” they would be self-styled “liberals”).

They criticize society by reporting bad news exclusively about the people and institutions which make society work. The natural implication of criticizing society is to promote the idea that society needs to be closely controlled. By, naturally, government under the direction of journalists.

That's exactly what happened. And the network talking heads were paralyzed with indecision while the boards went silent. They looked for excuses as to why things weren't moving along, knowing they couldn't tell the truth - it was quite entertaining for those of us who knew what was actually happening.
