Donald Trump is currently going on another Twitter rant. He seems to have been tweeting about the election results for the greater part of the day, but this one statement sums up his latest series of complaints:

Thanks a lot, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.  You've made this national embarrassment our president.

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally
2:30 PM - 27 Nov 2016

OK, Donald. If millions of people voted illegally, let's see you produce...10 of them.

Just to emphasize how completely and utterly insane this is, Trump is alleging that a minimum of about 1-in-30 Clinton votes was illegally cast.  This guy is unreal.

Not to mention saying that ~2% of the total votes cast in an election THAT HE WON were fraudulent, which if true would strengthen the case for an audit.

Maybe we should have a recount in all 50 states if millions really did vote illegally...

Me thinks Trump is either really sore about losing the popular vote or has something to hide that's going to be revealed during the recount. Probably the former but he needs to shut up and learn to be diplomatic.

He's making excuses for losing the popular vote because he clearly lost it. It's like winning an Olympic gold medal by default based on a technicality. Sure, you won the medal, but it's not the same as winning it without technical issues.

He thinks the voter id laws passed by the Republican governors, legislatures, do not work?

If he is right, we need to get to work voting these failures out of office.

I think Trump is probably right about this.  It is well known that there has been systematic voter fraud in Democratic strongholds going back to the 19th century; the big city machines in New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, etc.  Wherever organized crime or "community organizers" have a heavy presence.  Or, millions of illegal aliens.  Trump may be stirring up a hornets nest on this one, but if he wants to drain the swamp...

And Trump sends the left into another rabid frenzy. Maybe they can dump more money into the Stein scam?

Genius!

The only two cases of voter fraud that resulted in arrests involved a woman in Iowa who voted for Trump TWICE and some old woman in Illinois who sent in her dead husband's ballot for Trump. A skunk's hole is closer to it's own nose.

I think Trump is probably right about this.  It is well known that there has been systematic voter fraud in Democratic strongholds going back to the 19th century; the big city machines in New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, etc.  Wherever organized crime or "community organizers" have a heavy presence.  Or, millions of illegal aliens.  Trump may be stirring up a hornets nest on this one, but if he wants to drain the swamp...

As someone who regularly uses voter databases for work across multiple states (which are PUBLIC RECORD), this is totally nonsense.  Dude, 1-in-30 Clinton votes would have to be illegal (assuming that no illegal votes are for Trump).  That's incredibly ridiculous and you're ridiculous for claiming he's "probably right."  I get that not everyone has close familiarity with the registration and voting systems...but if you don't understand how our electoral system works, please, please research and discuss it before making claims like this.

The "3 million illegals" talking point is funny, because Clinton is rapidly closing in on a 2.5 million-vote lead.

Trump got close to one-third of Latinos, so...even if Clinton won 90% of these "illegal voters", that'd only be a net gain of 2.4 million votes for Trump. I guess they better find another million or two to throw into the mix, LOL.

illegally."

Trump seriously put more questioning on the legitimacy of the election that he won. He tells yet another lie.

He's such a crybaby. I don't care about him winning the electoral college because Hillary won what really mattered: the popular vote. It's time to abolish that system and move forward.

Had a chance to do so in the 1960s and early 70s. But, the small staters in Congress shot it down.
