President Trump went off script Thursday afternoon, and notably repeated a claim about voter fraud that has repeatedly been proven false. "In many places, like California, the same person votes many times — you've probably heard about that," Trump said. "They always like to say 'oh that's a conspiracy theory' — not a conspiracy theory folks. Millions and millions of people."

It's not the first time Trump has claimed widespread fraud in California, or nationally. Just a few weeks after the 2016 election,Trump tweeted that there was "serious voter fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California," but his campaign declined to provide further evidence.

"Elections officials and nonpartisan observers in California said there were no widespread reports of voter fraud," Politifact's Chris Nichols wrote. "The state has some of the most stringent voter verification laws in the country. Allegations of fraud are so rare that Los Angeles County, the state's largest county, does not track them."

On Thursday, The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University  in response to Trump's remarks, "study after study has shown that voter fraud is vanishingly rare, and voter impersonation is nearly non-existent."

In January, the president dissolved the commission he set up to investigate claims of voter fraud.

   

"It's sad the president continues to recycle his same old lies," said California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, in a statement to NPR on Thursday. "His rants dishonor the thousands of local elections officials and volunteers, from across the political spectrum, who work hard to ensure the integrity of our elections."


So not only did he refuse to provide any basis for his big lies he also disbanded the commission that would have investigated his claims and proved he was lying.


How can people even say with a straight face that Trump cares about voter fraud after all his lies and then his refusal to address the "millions' of illegal votes in California?

So you are saying there is no such thing as voter fraud? Breech doesn't agree with you. He has already pointed out the various types that occur, while I pointed out the fed doesn't have the manpower/resources to properly research it in depth. The only thing we can disagree on it is about the quantity. Trump is likely over estimating it, and you are underestimating it. Both of you are serving your own agendas. 

How we would all love to live in your perfect world where you vilify financially successful black men and try to rope them into black athlete stereotypes by having multiple kids by multiple women and dont pay child support. That sounds racist if you ask me. And honestly, it's really none of your business, yet you want others to mind their own business when it comes to gay people. 

Great way of leading by example.
