Asked about Grothman's election night comments, Allbaugh said Grothman "outed himself" and the Congressman should be taken at his word.

Grothman's office didn't respond to two requests for comment. Allbaugh, whose Facebook post generated national attention, said he received a call from Grothman on Thursday, in which the Congressman said he believes that Democrats cheat at elections, but he can't prove it.

Allbaugh said while some Republicans truly believe there is widespread voter fraud, even though there isn't evidence to prove it, there is a smaller segment of Republicans, including Grothman, who know voter ID will make it harder for college students and low-income people to vote.

"I think he knows the ramifications," Allbaugh said. "But I also believe that he believes in his heart that there’s widespread voter fraud, even though he admitted to me he can’t prove it. Don’t you think you ought to have proof beyond a doubt before you do something to impede somebody’s constitutional rights?"
