For voter fraud to exist on the scale Trump claims, there would have to be a conspiracy by both the Republican and Democratic voting administrators at poll stations across the United States that nobody has ever uncovered. The states deny Trump's claim of voter fraud under their watches.
Anyway, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, arguably the most powerful Republicans in Congress, don't support budgeting for a voter fraud investigation. They do not believe Trump's claim warrants an investigation funded by the tax payers.
However, I'd kinda like to see an investigation done to put this rhetoric to bed, as long as the investigatory body was bi-partisan or non-partisan and independent of the president's office. I don't doubt that are inefficiencies across the states and some improvements could be made nationwide, though I very seriously doubt significant voter fraud would be uncovered.
