White House doubles down on Trump's voter fraud claim
MSN AP ^ | January 24, 2017

Posted on 01/24/2017 1:14:38 PM PST by SMGFan

The White House on Tuesday stuck firmly to President Donald Trump's claim that millions of people voted illegally in the November election, but provided no evidence to back up his assertion. Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said the president "does believe" that he lost the popular vote to Democrat Hillary Clinton only because of widespread illegal ballots. "He believes what he believes, based on the information he was provided," Spicer said. But he would not detail what information he was referring to, citing only a 2008 study that called for updating voter rolls but did not conclude there has been pervasive election fraud.

Yes, I agree. I expect the Detroit investigation was quickly buried, as the extent of the fraud began to come to light. But yes, at least Detroit is a place to start, and Spicer could say, to the effect, that the media should be concerned about what happened in Detroit, and why are they not investigating it?

HOW CAN THERE *BE* EVIDENCE? There’s no checking of ID. Anyone can vote. Illegals in particular were encouraged to do so by our ex-president. I have absolutely no doubt that at least 1.5 MM illegal votes were cast in California alone.

Good points.

What's more, most people know this, which is why True the Vote does what it does (for us)

And why (by all appearances) Lois Lerner did what she did.

In fact, one highly suspects that Lois's taking the 5th has done much to convince any thoughtful observers that voter not only fraud happens, but that the Dems actively cultivate it.

The Detroit recount pretty much tells the tale.

They stopped the Michigan recount because of the fraudulent votes in Detroit for Pete’s sake!

Just what are you trying to imply.

That the MSM is not only full of crap, but can't even keep its story straight from week to week.

Of course it doesn't matter, because the LIV's they're trying to reach don't know what day it is most of the time.

I haven’t read the whole thread yet, but I’m curious about something. I’ve heard as many as 2-3 million possible “illegal votes”, not necessarily “illegals voting. “

However, in the presser, Mara Liaison ( not sure how she spells her name) mentioned 3-5 million illegals voting would be the biggest vote scandal in the history of the country. WHERE did she get those numbers? Spicer didn’t mention numbers... Perhaps she let something slip?

LOL I basically said that about the Inauguration “controversy” today. Trump got them looking at that and then he made all SORTS of decisions elsewhere.
Guess the MSM is easy to distract.

Maybe we can find out how many were bused from CA to NV? I am sure Reid had a pretty good machine.

MSM accepted Obama claim without a shred of proof, that the Russians hacked the election and helped Trump win.

Now they’re demanding Trump substantiate his claim of vote fraud.

Which was it? When it comes to fake news, the MSM is running in circles.

Podesta accused Obama of voter fraud in 2008 in the Colorado primary. It is in wikileaks.

Bob Creamer, convicted felon, admitted voter fraudster, and confidant of Obama, visited his WH over 340 times.

I heard the bit on Rush where the reporter-ette was going on about how if these accusations were true, it would be, like, one of the biggest scandals in history, etc. etc.

I wish that the press guy had had the prescience to respond with something along the lines of, “And we can rest assured that that is exactly why you won’t be investigating it.”
