Would you trust any results of an investigation done by the Trump administartion?

Trump recently stated that he was putting Pence in charge of an investigation of voter fraud. I wouldn't trust any results from this. There is a good possibility they would intentionally confuse voter registration anomalies with voter fraud. CNN has recently stated that they have put together an instigation team. I think it would be a good idea to try to put some pressure on them to do their own study on the issue like they did on the Obama birth certificate. I am not exactly sure how you would do that.

that the VP has been put in charge of "investigating" something the president made up in his head. It sounds like something out of a Mel Brooks comedy.

Obviously they're not going to find 3 million illegal votes that don't exist, but they have to "find" something, don't they? Otherwise they'll make Trump look like an even bigger fool. I agree that they'll probably use duplicate registrations as "evidence" of voter fraud. I just hope they don't use it institute interstate Crosscheck and other voter suppression tactics nationwide.
