“Trump Pushes Voter Fraud Claim Citing Fringe Blogger”

ABC News:

Asked by ABC News if he had evidence to support his claim that millions of people voted illegally, Phillips demurred, saying he “is building that case right now.”

“I may be a whacko, I may be a nut, I don’t know, I don’t really care what they say about me,” he said.

Trump thought enough of Phillips’s theory that he cited it on Twitter….

Gerald Hebert, director of the Voting Rights and Redistricting Program at the Campaign Legal Center in Washington, DC., said it looked to him like President Trump was peddling a theory in search of validation.

“I mean this [voter fraud] has been studied, this isn’t just me theorizing about this, this has actually been studied, and it just, it doesn’t exist,” Hebert said.

The notion that voter fraud is being perpetrated by Democrats for a political advantage is undermined by the fact that the majority of state election offices are overseen by Republicans.
