Trump Thought 60,000 People Would Show Up In Tulsa, But Only 6,000 Did

From the article:

Via Politico:
Still, interest in the event was high. About 1.1 million people registered to attend, forcing aides to begin making plans to stage an added outdoor event. Aides knew the 1.1 million figure was inflated: After sorting through the sign-ups — a process that included looking at registrants’ voting histories — they determined that about 300,000 were fake.
