Most likely millions of illegal immigrants did vote, and dead people too. And then there was the ballot stuffing.
Glad Trump is still talking about this, but he will need to do more than talk about this in the next four years.
To: ChessExpert
I read the article but couldn't find any reference to the exact number of illegals who voted. Surely, the New York Times has an exact accounting of the precise number of illegals voting. How do they know that Trump is wrong? Why do they think Obama flooded the country with illegal aliens? Certainly, the New York Times wouldn't just make stuff up. It's just those bloggers who must be fact checked!

This site should have a separate section for fake news outlets like the NY Times and Washington Post.

It is not a lie, illegal aliens did vote.

Can anyone prove President Trump is not right? No. Therefore, not a lie.

The Old York Times is right, it was probably 3 million illegals voted.

Interesting distinction: illegal ballots and illegal's ballots. Both are serious.
BTW, has anyone seen any reports on how many people voting more than once--e.g., voted in NY, then in FL? Lots reported in past elections, but never seen a single prosecution.

I think NYT doesn’t know what a lie is! Now what Trump said isn’t a lie, now it may not be proven (yet) but that isn’t a lie by definition because the NYT doesn’t know themselves if it’s TRUE that illegals didn’t vote
To: ChessExpert
Let us not forget that Obama told one illegal to vote as no one would know. There is a video of that somewhere.

I see nothing wrong with Trump goading the Fake Stream Media. Their narrative won't swing many future voters outside CA and NY.
If anything, these continuing petty attacks on DJT show the media's desperation to stay in business, by appealing to their gullible audiences.

I live in CA. I can guarantee EVERYONE HERE that ILLEGALS are voting in this state by the THOUSANDS!!!! Dems don’t care and WILL NEVER fix this Trump will have to fix this!!!
To: Az Joe
I would argue that we need to comb through their articles and respond and rebuff them. I have done that before many times. Don’t just allow the articles to stand without criticism. This is currently the most prominent NYT article being shoved around by the anti-Trump media right now.

What California Board of Elections member would challenge a motor-voter ID carrying illegal alien demanding to register to vote?
What is the penalty for illegal alien fraud in the sanctuary state?

Oh, shoot, this is an easy lie to disprove. First, let's count the number of states that actually require proof of ID to register. Now, add in those states that require proof of ID which would identify citizenship to vote, then subtract states that permit open vote by mail without providing the slightest amount of identification and you'll have a probable number of illegal votes.
So, umm, Trump's likely right. Or maybe he's wrong. The actual issue is that WE CAN'T TELL. Now, if a newspaper actually got the voting records (including vote by mail) and actually investigated to find out how many of those voters were not citizens (say through a FIOA request from the White House for green cards issued by the Obama administration to children of illegals), they could actually prove or disprove Trump's statement.
Gosh, can you imagine a drive by media outlet doing that?

I know, right?! Just like the media immediately labeled Pizzagate a fake news story. I guarantee you that no one actually looked into it, other than the conservatives. I did a fairly small amount of snooping around online and found PLENTY to be suspicious about. Nope...blown off immediately by the lamestream media. Nothing to see here, folks; move along.
Sigh...
