Former Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday tore into President Trump's claims of rampant voter fraud, saying the allegations have laid a foundation for voter suppression and more restrictive voter identification laws.
"The vote fraud mantra is said so often — it’s almost said robotically — that some people have unthinkingly begun to believe that the issue is real," Holder said at a National Action Network conference in New York City.
"And with recent claims by Mr. Trump of ‘rigged elections’ based on fraud, again without any proof, save the bluster of the candidate, this mistaken belief in voter fraud becomes almost hardwired," he continued.
President Trump has repeatedly claimed that the United States' election system is "rigged" and that rampant voter fraud by millions of "illegals" prevented him from winning the popular vote in November. The real estate mogul, however, won the Electoral College vote.
Because of those claims, Holder said, "a predicate has been laid for further voter suppression efforts," despite no credible evidence suggesting that voter fraud is a widespread problem.
During his tenure as the country's top law enforcement official under former President Obama, Holder vowed to aggressively challenge state voter ID laws, which disproportionately affect minorities and low-income voters. Thirty-three states currently have some form of voter ID la

H0lder knows much about fraud of many kinds.
Eric Holder’s claims are laying the foundation for future election fraud.
Holder’s voter suppression claims are laying the foundation for election fraud.
Let’s just have an audit of California to see if there are non-citizens registered and voting so we can put this to rest.
The “voter fraud” meme was started by the LEFT!
They even funded RECOUNTS!
Then, when Trump says he (correctly) suspects voter fraud, the left says it is HIM?
God are these people irony-deaf? Chutzpah-deaf?
Yikes! Exactly. Great minds....
These guys are in full assault mode. They have nothing else.
Experience tells us these curs come out and burn things every time a Republican is president. Like bats at dusk.
Holder LIES to ensure vote fraud!
How does legitimate voter ID suppress legitimate voters?
Agreed. What are they trying to hide?
Moonbeam would never allow the truth to be known, so there will be no audit.
Holder was active in the opposite of voter suppression, diluting the vote significance of American citizens by encouraging “voting” by non-citizens, anything to put teeth in the 44th President’s operating principle of “get-even-with-them-ism”, against people of European heritage, most of whom had no part in slavery and colonialism.
Just another affirmative action disappointment. Nothing to see here.
Who will ever accept the word of “Machine Gun Eric”

I like how every time they trot out 107-year-old Gramma Tarpaper or “recently arrived” Jose Pobre-Hombre as props and try to show that they can’t get their birth documents, somebody finds out two hours after the indignant press conference that they’re already on welfare and registered to vote in two jurisdictions.
What is really behind SO CALLED voter suppression IS Trumps upholding immigration laws MANY illegal aliens will be afraid to vote now as they have in past elections, they are much more likely to lay low afraid of being deported!!!! Holder is a lying BASTARD!!!!
V.P. Pence has a team going through the votes and finding voter fraud and Judicial Watch is doing voter fraud also...and Holder knows this...
Why isn’t this criminal scumbag waiting on death row for his part in the deaths of Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata?
