US Vice President Mike Pence will head a federal commission that will look into voter registration fraud, US President Donald Trump said today.
"I'm going to set up a commission to be headed by Vice President Mike Pence, and we're going to look at it very, very carefully," Trump said as he buttressed his point that there is a massive voters fraud during the general elections.
Voter fraud, he said, has nothing to do with the end result, but it has to do with registration itself.
"It doesn't have to do with the vote, although the end result. It has to due with the registration. When you look at the registration and you see dead people that have voted, when you see people that are registered in two states, that have voted in two states, when you see other things, when you see illegals, people that are not citizens and they are on the registration roles," Trump was quoted as saying by the Fox News.
