Re: “If the fraudulent votes were removed HRC’s total numbers would be significantly less. She might even have lost The left coast by 1%.”
Sorry, I have not seen any empirical evidence that supports a claim for massive voter fraud.
In fact, in the months leading up to the general election, I read dozens of Comments at Free Republic that predicted Trump would win in a landslide.
I think a lot of Trump supporters are severely embarrassed that Clinton beat Trump by almost 3 million votes, and that Mitt Romney (47.2%) got a larger share of the Popular Vote than Trump (46.0%) got - and I think those supporters reach for the first excuse they see.
Also, since massive voter fraud cannot be prevented before the election, and since massive voter fraud cannot be detected or prosecuted after the election, how do we know that Trump didn’t steal more votes than Hillary stole?
There’s a simple explanation. It’s not that there was much voter fraud. Hillary was worried she would win the electoral vote but not the popular vote, Trump would question the results. So they went after the popular vote in Chicago and New Orleans
