Reminds me of when Nixon had an investigation on marijuana. When they came back with a report that marijuana wasn't that bad he didn't want to accept their results. I predict a similar outcome.

Perhaps, but Trump himself aside, I think the most likely results will be a report finding less potential voter fraud than Republicans and conservatives assume (and fear), but far more than Democrats and progressives are willing to even begin to imagine.
More importantly, it will most likely conclude voter ID laws and other such programs do not have the voter suppression effect that liberal claim. They won't accept that answer, but it will be the major source of drama in the aftermath of the report being finalized.

'President Trump signed an executive order Thursday that sets up a commission to review his controversial allegations of widespread voter fraud, along with reports of voter suppression. '
'Last month, Kobach won his first conviction of a noncitizen who illegally voted in a Kansas election without being a U.S. citizen. '
'The White House has pointed to Kobach’s investigation of voter-fraud cases in Kansas as evidence that he supports the president’s claims. '
'Now, the White House is getting around to taking action. '
'Kobach is the only secretary of state with the authority to prosecute voter fraud, and he has helped create some of the nation’s strictest voter-ID requirements. '
