Trump Lies About 2016 Election Fraud
Even after winning the electoral college, Trump is unable to acknowledge that he lost the popular vote by 2.9 million voters. With no evidence, Trump uses racist lies and conspiracy theories to claim voter fraud, tweeting: “I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” These lies are echoed by right-wing media and Trump allies.

“President-elect Donald Trump alleged Sunday, without evidence, that “millions of people” voted illegally for Hillary Clinton and otherwise he would have won the popular vote. It’s an unprecedented allegation by a president-elect.
Trump won the Electoral College and thus the White House, but the Democratic nominee leads him in the popular vote by about two million ballots.”
