Confident that vote fraud does not exist, mainstream media has dubbed Trump's claim that he would have won the popular vote if not for illegally cast ballots a "lie." Nevertheless, there appears to be some evidence that Trump's claims may have some validity. Because votes are cast secretly there is no way to prove that illegally cast ballots gave the popular vote victory to Hillary Clinton, but there is credibility behind a contention that millions of illegitimate ballots may have been cast.
A study led by Professor Jesse Richman of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia estimated that nearly 1.3 million non-citizens voted in the recent election. That's not enough, by itself, to have made Clinton the popular vote winner. However, non-citizen voting is not the only source of illegitimate ballots.
A report by the Pew Center found that nearly two million dead people are still registered to vote and there are indications that some of them did in Philadelphia and Colorado last year. The Pew study also asserted that 24 million registrations are either invalid or inaccurate.
A pre-election expose by Project Veritas revealed Democratic operatives bragging about driving people around to cast multiple ballots at different precincts where poll workers aren't allowed to check IDs. "We've been busing people to cast multiple votes for fifty years and we're not going to stop now," Scott Foval said.
Finally, in response to Green Party candidate for president Jill Stein's pursuit of a recount in Michigan, election officials discovered dozens of urban precincts where the number of ballots counted considerably exceeded the number of voters who showed up to vote.
Unlike the last GOP president, Trump is not one to sit back and take abuse from the media. This week he announced that his Administration will conduct a broad investigation of voting irregularities. "We're going to look into it and we'll see what happens," Trump said.
CNN's Jake Tapper called the proposed investigation "a waste of time and money. There is no evidence. We will hold Trump's feet to the fire and persuade the American people of their mistake electing him. Besides, even if there was proof that non-citizens voted, President Obama said they could during an October interview with Gina Rodriguez on the Latino news site MiTu. And in my book, if a president okays it isn't fraud."
In related news, the Social Security Administration reports that there are 6.5 million people over the age of 100 still holding jobs in this country. Sean Brune, a senior adviser to the agency's deputy commissioner for budget, finance, quality and management, called these figures "proof that Trump's allegation of millions being driven out of the workforce by President Obama's economic policies is refuted." Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis) disagreed, saying "it is more likely evidence of widespread fraudulent use of Social Security numbers belonging to deceased Americans by illegal immigrants."

And THIS is what everyone seems to miss.
If an illegal alien votes illegally, that illegal alien would have no qualms about voting illegally several times, n'est ce pas?
Vote fraud doesn't happen on it's own; and, one highly suspects that it's quite well organized. One suspects that this would include illegal aliens being registered with many names and addresses; and transportation provided to each polling place.
1.3 million non-citizen voters could account for 3 million illegal votes.
(The voting dead would, of course, only vote once.)

Okay, John, ya got me.
(What I said was still good stuff, though.)

The media was confident that Hillary was going to win also..
Love your work. You maintain a slugging percentage higher than Babe Ruth. (To those not baseball inclined, it means he hit another one out of the park).
