   Should Trump have ordered major investigation into voter fraud of him not winning the popular vote?
   
   This is what Trump did with the Birther Movement.  He made allegations of Obama not being born in this country and no record of his going to college.  He never proved it one way or the other, but it stayed out there for years to delegitimize Obama's presidency...and there are still some people who believe him.   He is doing the same thing now with Hillary winning the popular vote.  He has no proof, but he won't let it go.  Doesn't the president of the United States have better things to do with his time and our tax payer's money?

   What better thing to do than to make sure the integrity of our voting system. I am not talking about the popular vote but all votes. The fact democrats won't support a voter id for elections bafflles me. What are they afraid of? Every other country has something like it. Don't tell me it is voter suppression because it is not. Everyone has some form of id. You cannot function in our society without id unless you live in a cave.
   I want my vote to count equally as any other vote.  Reading stuff like people voting twice or dead people voting seems the exact reason we need an investigation on how this happens and how to stop them in the future. Why is this so hard for you to comprehend?

      The only reason Trump is harping on this is because the left is using the popular vote to delegitimize his victory. The rule is the rule. If the election results were to be change to a popular vote, he would have ran the election differently.

   Around 15% of illegal aliens in California polled admitting to voting. The DNC actively sought legal immigrants to vote. This easily amounts to millions of people voting in violation of the law - and that's separate from multiple voting organized by the DNC that shut down the Detroit recount and was proven via Podesta's emails leaked by Wikileaks.

   California had Trump 4mil plus, and Hillary 7mil plus. There is the short answer. CA has 55 electoral votes winner takes all. So the 4 million Trump votes didn't count for the electoral college. In CA the Hispanics bigger in the population than whites. CA doesn't allow voters to be checked for eligibility and if you can't check to see who is voting then how can anyone say there isn't voter fraud. How would Trump investigate that after the fact. That is one of the reasons why the democrats are against photo id for voting. I need a photo id and birth certificate just to get a library card in my city in CA. So why don't voters need them to vote. Which is more important the library card or voting requirements?
   
   Take away CA and Trump won the popular vote, but as HRC and the DNC and even the repubs that opposed Trump, it was all about the Electoral College, until HRC lost badly there. Then it became the popular vote.
   
   The electoral college needs to lose the all or nothing states, and make it split the state college votes. And, even with the all or nothing Trump beat Clinton badly.
   
   Don't the liberals in congress need to move on and do their job for the people instead of their party? Going after Trump and vowing to go against everything he is trying to do is a flagrant disregard for the oath they swore to get into congress.
   
   The country has had a terrible 28 years with zero accomplishments, wars that we can't win or even stop, and now Muslim terrorism in the US. Anit Trump protesters acting like terrorists causing riots and trying to bring down the country by any means. That is domestic terrorism at the worst, and just wrong at the least.
   
   Obama was more interested in Non Americans than in Americans. Trump has changed that focus. We can't help anyone else if we can't help ourselves.
   
   As for the Obama BC, it was reasonable to ensure that Obama met the constitutional requirements for the presidency. And being an American citizen is a big one. Natural born only, not naturalized even.
   
   It should be a matter of procedure for any presidential candidates to be vetted, especially for meeting the constitutional requirements. Turning over tax returns is not a constitutional requirement, it is at best a tradition.
   Trump is doing better things, and he would do it better without liberals and their domestic terrorist activities. Trying to bring down the country is terrorism.

   I think one of these days people are going to discover that Trump is bipolar and that will explain his weird behavior and disposition.  His obsession with everyone's looks.  His inability to tolerate even the teeny tiniest criticism.  His snap anger episodes over what seems trivial to people who aren't mentally ill.  It will probably take a major disaster to have a workup on him ordered even though several psychiatrists have already recommended it, because like me, they recognize the signs and symptoms.
   
   An investigation into voter fraud by the Pew Research Center has already been conducted, but Trump refuses to accept the results. 
   
   No appreciable fraud occurred in the 2016 elections.  Trump needs to get over himself, but of course he can't because he's mentally ill.  Not his fault, but he shouldn't be running the country.  He's wasting tax dollars when he orders still another investigation into voter fraud and it's all about his ego.  If he wants to pay for the investigation himself, by all means go to it, but taxpayers shouldn't have to foot the bill given that the only reason for the investigation is that Trump can't sleep at night knowing Hillary received far more popular votes.

   The electoral college exists for a reason. So no one or two states can sway the entire country into choosing something or someone that the rest of the states do not acquiesce to. I blame the media for the investigation as they  egged him into making it a formal investigation. I am not sure about widespread voter fraud but it was shown that there were more ballots cast in Detroit then there were people  to cast them in favor of Clinton. It didn't matter and I don't think it still does but if an investigation is enough to plug the holes so that this kind of accusation has no future validity I'm not opposed.

      sorry, but one or two states DO sway elections, and the candidates suck up to 12 states.a womans vote in wyoming is worth three times a woman in california.these were originally slave states,who were given special deference to stay in union.its 2017

   Trump has started an investigation of the number of illegal aliens who voted in the election, which is treasonous, not to mention against the law.  Obama is even on video suggesting and encouraging that illegals vote in the election without repercussion! There are other signs of election fraud, too, which is one reason why the media tried so hard to make it look like Hillary was a shoo-in.

    Our voting system is dangerously flawed and with a decade of open borders we have no idea who is voting or even who is in our country illegally. Democrats have taken full advantage and Hillary received over 800 illegal votes that we know about.

    Obama won CA by roughly 3.3 million votes in 2008. He won by 2012 by 3 million votes. Now, with Hillary support waning, and voters not enthused with her, what logical number would you give for her victory in CA in 2016? She won by 4 million votes. Any logical person would ask, how in the world did that happen? Keep in mind that she won (or lost) the entire Northeast by millions of less votes than Obama! In no state but CA did Hillary get more votes than Obama....and she got 25% MORE than Obama! That fact alone would at least gather a whimper of..."huh"?

    There is so much on President Trump's plate. I am sure he knows what he is doing.   Besides, I kind of recall that after all the  liberal  hacks went wild after  losing, it turned out that he did get the popular vote.   
    What really matters now is that he is the President and is doing a great job with no media shills sticking up for him.
    The man is truly  amazing
