Trump claims serious voter fraud in 3 states [View all]

Source: The Hill

President-elect Donald Trump alleged Sunday evening that there were “serious voter fraud” issues in three states during the election, calling out results from Virginia, New Hampshire and California.

The Twitter accusation capped off an active day on the social media platform for the president elect. He started the morning saying a Green Party-launched recount in Wisconsin, along with efforts in Michigan and Pennsylvania, will not change the results of the election.

But in the afternoon, he tweeted an unsubstantiated claim that “millions of people” voted illegally and said he would have won the popular vote if those "illegal" votes were discounted.

Trump won 290 Electoral College votes, but trails Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by more than 2 million in the popular vote tally.
