HuffPost Politics
He lies about everything. Why should this be an exception. It's not that he lies. He has no concept of the meaning of truth. Truth is based on reality, from which he is totally disconnected.

In-person voting fraud is rare, doesn't affect elections
As usual, the Tumpeter gets it wrong. If he keeps talking long enough he will be right sooner or later, based on the thousand monkey theory. “News21, a reporting project affiliated with Arizona State University, in 2012 found 2,068 cases of election fraud nationwide since 2000. Of those, just 10 involved voter impersonation — or one out of every 15 million prospective voters. More common was absentee mail-in ballot fraud, with 491 cases. None affected the outcome of an election.”
