Those getting their news from the Donald Trump administration likely believe voter fraud is a big problem. The president has repeatedly talked about illegal voting, and his claims were recently backed up by adviser Stephen Miller, who falsely claimed during a television appearance that voter fraud in New Hampshire was "very real." In reality, however, voter fraud isn't the problem Trump wants us to believe it is.
