Has he announced any details on this yet?
Turns out the guy whose "studies" he is relying on (you know - they guy who refuses to share any information whatsoever) is actually registered to vote in 3 different states. ( http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-trump-voter-fraud-expert-phillips-20170130-story.html)
Being registered to vote in different states is actually one of the things that Trump cites most often even though there is no evidence that people actually vote multiple times
What are the odds that we never hear another word about this...well not until Trump needs another distraction from his disastrous public or foreign policy.
Trump announces 'major' voter fraud investigation
By JULIE PACE and JONATHAN LEMIRE
Jan. 25, 2017 10:34 AM EST
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump tweeted early Wednesday that he is ordering a "major investigation" into voter fraud, revisiting unsubstantiated claims he's made repeatedly about a rigged voting system.
The investigation, he said, will look at those registered to vote in more than one state, "those who are illegal and ... even, those registered to vote who are dead (and many for a long time)."
Depending on results, Trump tweeted, "we will strengthen up voting procedures!"
Trump has been fixated on his loss of the popular vote in the election and a concern that the legitimacy of his presidency is being challenged by Democrats and the media, aides and associates say.
Trump's own attorneys dismissed claims of voter fraud in a legal filing responding to Green Party candidate Jill Stein's demand for a recount in Michigan late last year.
"On what basis does Stein seek to disenfranchise Michigan citizens? None really, save for speculation," the attorneys wrote. "All available evidence suggests that the 2016 general election was not tainted by fraud or mistake."
Secretaries of state across the country have dismissed Trump's voter fraud claims as baseless. After the president's morning tweets, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted wrote on Twitter, "We conducted a review 4 years ago in Ohio & already have a statewide review of 2016 election underway. Easy to vote, hard to cheat."
Trump's exaggerations about inauguration crowds and assertions about illegal balloting have been distractions as advisers' have tried to launch his presidency with a flurry of actions on the economy.
His spokesman, Sean Spicer, has twice stepped into the fray himself, including on Tuesday, when he doubled down on Trump's false claim that he lost the popular vote because 3 million to 5 million people living in the U.S. illegally cast ballots.
All 50 states and the District of Columbia have finalized their election results with no reports of the kind of widespread fraud that Trump is alleging.
"He believes what he believes based on the information he was provided," said Spicer, who provided no evidence to back up the president's statements.
If the president's claim were true it would mark the most significant election fraud in U.S. history — and ironically, would raise the same questions about Trump's legitimacy that he's trying to avoid. No details have been released about the possible probe.

I don't know. Did he actually vote in three different states? Being registered to vote in different states isn't fraud, is it? What if he lived in three different states at different times?

Trump thinks being registered to vote in more than one state is a very big problem
Like you, I don't think it's a problem unless they actually vote in more than one state
President JackAss thinks being registered in more than one state is fraud

so the POTUS' adamant assertion that 3.5-4% of the electorate actually cast illegal votes in the world's greatest democracy is not really ummm that big a deal after all? :-\

apparently so but since the entire focus of the country is now all about Trump and his hurt feelings it seems he's found new things to feel butt hurt about this week
or maybe Trump talked to Gregg Phillips and Phillips explained that he was just talking out of his ass and trying to promote his voter fraud phone app and he has no proof at all of any large scale voter fraud.
Still no executive order on voter fraud, as Trump moves on
From CNN's Jeff Zeleny and Elizabeth Landers
A full week has passed since President Donald Trump said he would sign an executive order opening a Justice Department investigation into his unsubstantiated claim that millions of people voted illegally in November.
The Oval Office signing was abruptly canceled last Thursday and never rescheduled. The White House hasn't talked about it since. The President has moved on to other subjects.
A senior administration official told CNN that the voter fraud investigation is no longer a top priority for the President, insisting it's not off the table, but not expected anytime soon.

Trump told O'Reilly that Pence is ON IT!
The 3-5 million illegal votes for Hillary will be found, and the rightful popular vote winner will be vindicated!
