Related: About this forumSteve King (R-Douchenozzle) said his calculator showed there were illegal votes
Ugh
Election officials across the country have found almost no cases of voter fraud in the 2016 election, but Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is convinced that 2.4 million people voted illegally.
In an interview with MSNBCs Hallie Jackson on Tuesday, King responded to President Donald Trumps evidence-free claim that there were between 3 and 5 million illegal voters in the election ― an assertion that puzzled even some of Trumps supporters.
Citing sample data from certain counties, King told Jackson he had done his own calculations and determined it was plausible that 2.4 million people could have voted illegally.
I ... did an extrapolation calculation on how many illegals could have or could be voting in the United States, King said, using an offensive term for undocumented immigrants. The number I came up with off of that extrapolation was 2.4 million. So its plausible ― the number 3 million sounds like its a plausible number to me.
