Donald Trump doesn’t appear to be comfortable with the fact that he lost the popular vote. I suppose it’s hard to blame him: the president-elect is taking office with the knowledge that Americans were given a choice between two major-party candidates, and he came in second.

To make himself feel better, Trump recently declared that it only looks like he lost the popular vote – which the Republican believes he secretly won “if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” Trump, of course, was brazenly lying, and neither he nor his aides have been able to substantiate the claim in anyway.

The (Washington) Post’s research found a grand total of four documented instances of voters attempted to cast fraudulent votes. Not four percent, literally four individuals.

And most of them were Republicans.

No, really. A Trump voter in Iowa got caught trying to vote twice in Des Moines, and when asked for an explanation, she said, “The polls are rigged.” She was joined by a Texas Republican who claimed to be associated with the Trump campaign who tried to vote twice because he wanted to “test” the integrity of the system. (Evidently, the system works fine.) Also, a Republican woman in Illinois was caught filling out an absentee ballot for her deceased husband. - MSNBC
