Content: In addition, Trump infamously and repeatedly refused to say whether or not he would accept the results of the election — should those results indicate that he had lost. He implied that he would only accept a loss if he agreed that the results were legitimate, and neither he nor his campaign ever elaborated on how that legitimacy would be judged. It should thus come as no surprise that Trump is now applying the same rigged-election logic to the metric by which he did, in fact, lose the election. It is also extremely unlikely that Trump will provide, or be able to provide, any credible evidence for his claim that more than 2.2 million Clinton voters voted illegally. Four hours after his initial tweet, Trump tried to bolster his claim by declaring: Serious voter fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California - so why isn't the media reporting on this? Serious bias - big problem! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 28, 2016
There is no credible evidence to support that assertion. Furthermore, there is no credible evidence of large-scale voter fraud occurring in the United States, nor any credible evidence of any large-scale voter fraud having occurred in the 2016 election. Most claims to the contrary have originated on right-wing websites and those claims have not stood up to scrutiny, like an article on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s InfoWars website, which falsely claimed that 3 million undocumented immigrants voted illegally this year.
