HOUSTON, TX. – November 27, 2016: True the Vote (TTV), the nation's leading voters’ rights and election integrity organization, today released a statement with respect to President-Elect Donald Trump’s claim that “millions” of individuals illegally voted in the 2016 Election.
“True the Vote absolutely supports President-elect Trump’s recent comment about the impact of illegal voting, as reflected in the national popular vote. We are still collecting data and will be for several months, but our intent is to publish a comprehensive study on the significant impact of illegal voting in all of its many forms and begin a national discussion on how voters, states, and the Trump Administration can best address this growing problem.”
True the Vote (TTV) is an IRS-designated 501(c)(3) voters’ rights organization, founded to inspire and equip voters for involvement at every stage of our electoral process. TTV empowers organizations and individuals across the nation to actively protect the rights of legitimate voters, regardless of their political party affiliation.

There’s a recent vanity thread on FR suggesting a grass-roots effort by individuals, reviewing voter rolls and reporting deceased relatives or friends listed, so any votes under those names can be safely identified as fraudulent. Is this reasonable? Sounds as if it might be, at first blush.
He CAN provide proof, but there is zip he can do to "tighten up the whole voting process"......the voting process is strictly the responsibility and under the control of the states.
In addition to looking into the number of illegals who voted in 2016, it would also be worthwhile to see if there were illegals who did not vote in 2016, but voted in prior elections.
Did Trump’s threat to deport illegals cause illegals to not vote in 2016?
Here is why there may have been many illegals who did not vote in 2016>
In 2012 Obama got 66 million votes while in Hillary only got 64.5 million in 2012.
It seems an easy search is to compare a list of 2012 voters to 2016 voters.
I am donating monthly to them, and to FreeRepublic.
I used to attend their meetings (5 mins from my house) back in the day when she ran King Street Patriots. This was the epicenter of conservative activism in Houston.
It will be nice to see the data she produces and hopefully TRUMP will nix IA voting, this in turn will slow down the primary motivation for the D party to replace Americans with foreign voters.

Tell that to all those States that had their Voter ID laws undone.
Yes.
And this demonstrates exactly why the Obama IRS has abused presidential powers to bottle up requests from these types of organizations for 501(c)(3) designation.
But but but Asspress and Yahoo say in their headlines that these claims are unsubstantiated and Trump has no proof.
They report 1,262 criminal charges of voter fraud in the last 16 years - about 80 cases per year.
TTV was founded in late 2009, almost seven years ago, so I presume their database is reasonably thorough and accurate.
At least half of the criminal cases apply just to individuals who voted more than once or lied on their registration.
Many of the cases involve local primaries or local elections where one of the candidates, or someone working for a specific local campaign, was involved.
Large scale fraud, specifically in voter registration, is not uncommon, but it appears to make up less than 10% of the database. And, it's important to remember that many of the people who registered were actually legal voters, but the registration process violated the law.
One other impression...
TTV’s headquarters is in Houston.
Since Texas has at least 4.5 million non-citizen residents, plus a very powerful Republican Party, I presume that TTV is ultra-vigilant to fraud in Texas.
My Bottom Line...
I still do not believe there was massive voter fraud in the 2016 election.
Why?
Because 75% of non-citizen immigrants live in California, New York, Texas, and Florida.
California and New York can elect Democrats (or RINOS) to almost every political office in the state without even one fraudulent vote.
And, both Texas and Florida have a politically powerful Republican Party, and Texas has TTV, the most powerful Conservative watchdog organization in the country.
Yes, some federal courts have wrongfully inserted themselves into the process. There are a few states whose voting processes are NOT totally under their own control...those are states that had been "forcibly integrated" and had been found by the federal courts to have had "discriminatory voting practices" in the past, and are under court mandate to have any changes in their voting requirements approved by the federal courts.
I suspect that those states whose Voter ID laws were interfered with are from among that group of states, but I haven't checked to ascertain that.
This can’t be true, Steve Hayes on Faux Neewzz said yesterday that it was irresponsible of PE Trump to make such a claim.
Poor Steve, misinformed and misguided.
Attack, attack, attack!.
Drive the marxists from the field back under the rocks they climbed out from under!.
