This has nothing to do with Trump wanting to confirm election integrity and everything to do with his ego needing something to suggest he didn't lose the popular vote to Hillary.

Oh, media ADD? Yeah, TV media has no follow through. One of the reasons the demise of print media is not a good thing.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Do you not understand that the media focus went from 'Russia hacked the election' to 'no fraud in our election, why investigate?' I.e. the Russian narrative disappeared overnight

I believe there are investigations going on about the Russians so I wonder if Trump's investigation will include that too? I mean, if he is really concerned with the integrity of the voting system, I would hope he looks at all potential fraud activities.

Another reason why Trump should just let this go.

Never argued against your first point. Looney.

I have a personality disorder, I don't drink coffee...

It's one thing for Trump and his team to believe in massive voter fraud. It's quite another for that belief to be reasonably based.

Trump cited in an interview the other day to the Pew study when claiming that there were several million fraudulent votes cast. (He also incredibly claimed that not a single one of those fraudulent votes were cast for him.) His problem is that isn't even close to the Pew study's results. It's not just a gross mischaracterization of the study -- it's dishonest.

I have no problem with an investigation, if there's some reasonable basis underlying it. I do have a problem with the waste of federal funds just because Trump is butt hurt and his ego bruised.

They interviewed the author of the Pew study today on POTUS (which show I can't remember). He said that Trump was grossly inaccurate in characterizing the results of the study (voter rolls vs actual voting fraud).

But someone told Trump it was true so there's that...

So investigation / no investigation, I don't really care. I don't believe there was massive voter fraud but I'm not an expert on the issue nor did I spend last night in a Holiday Inn Express.

I just think its funny that

1. Trump claims that massive voter fraud occurred because of wide spread voter registration issues (voters registered in more than one state, for example).

2. Every single last person who committed voter fraud voted for his opponent and specifically NOT him.

3. Since we now know that Tiffany Trump is registered to vote in two states; if one buys what Trump is selling, then his daughter voted for not him.

Do you think his team spent *any* time in California doing that kind of examination? California is where he said those illegal votes were, right?

"Go yell at an M&M"

Surely, Trump has better things to do than spend time investigating an election he won.

He sure spends a lot of time boasting, bragging and gloating about the win. When does that stop?

Ironic that he goes on, and so much about the win ( "We won so big. Everywhere."), but now wants to investigate it? Why? According to other sources, there's been no Fraud.

Trump is "grossly inaccurate" in how he describes just about everything. But we know this now, and the pattern is very consistent so we just make those massive adjustments to whatever he's blustering about and move forward! :)
