White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller appeared on ABCs The Week on Sunday, spouting a bunch of false talking points on alleged voter fraud. (He also repeated similar claims on other Sunday talk shows.) To his credit, host George Stephanopoulus repeatedly challenged Miller, noting that he had provided no evidence to support his claims. But Miller charged ahead, using the word fact three times in a vain effort to bolster his position.
Stephanopoulus is referring to a Feb. 10 Politico report of a closed-door meeting Trump held with senators to discuss the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court: The president claimed that he and Ayotte both would have been victorious in the Granite State if not for the thousands of people who were brought in on buses from neighboring Massachusetts to illegally vote in New Hampshire. According to one participant who described the meeting, an uncomfortable silence momentarily overtook the room.
To repeat:
A 2012 Pew Center on the States study found problems with inaccurate voter registrations, people who registered in more than one state (which could happen if the voter moves and registers in the new state without telling the former state) and deceased voters whose information was still on the voter rolls. But the primary author of the Pew report tweeted in response to Trumps staffs claim that he can confirm that report made no findings re: voter fraud.
