Where Voter Fraud Still Exists

So, yes, Donald Trump is again talking about voter fraud, claiming it as the reason he lost the popular vote in the presidential election by nearly 3 million. He is calling for a probe to get to the bottom of it. It is true that, as he tweeted, the names of some deceased people are still on voter rolls, and that some people’s names are listed on multiple rolls.

However, that does not mean that dead people are voting or that people are voting multiple times from different states. If Trump is unconvinced of that, he need only look to his Treasury pick Steven Mnuchin, his senior advisor Steve Bannon, and his daughter Tiffany—all of whom are registered to vote in two states.
