There's been no evidence of widespread voter fraud, though a recount effort — which Trump opposes — is being led by the Green Party in some states.

Without offering any evidence, President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday made the extraordinary claim that millions of people voted illegally in the US election, costing him the popular vote. Trump made the fanciful claim as he weighed in via a Twitter tirade on efforts led by Green Party candidate Jill Stein to recount votes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. "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," Trump tweeted. "It would have been much easier for me to win the so-called popular vote than the Electoral College in that I would only campaign in 3 or 4 states instead of the 15 states that I visited. I would have won even more easily and convincingly (but smaller states are forgotten)!"

By the latest count, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by more than 2 million votes. Trump won the presidency with 309 electoral votes (270 are needed to win).

A claim — based on tweets from a self-styled vote protection activist — that 3 million "illegal aliens" had voted in the election was published by right-wing conspiracy site InfoWars on Nov. 14. The site also said that all 3 million fraudulent votes would have gone to Clinton — without showing any evidence to support the claims. Trump tweeted again later on Sunday that "serious voter fraud" had taken place in several states. He criticized the media, but again failed to offer any evidence for the claims.

Serious voter fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California - so why isn't the media reporting on this? Serious bias - big problem!
