U.S. President-elect Donald Trump claimed without providing evidence that he would have won the popular vote if “millions” of illegal votes were excluded, hours after criticizing an effort to recount votes in three battleground states.
“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, a Republican, told his 16 million Twitter followers Sunday. In a subsequent tweet, he claimed the media wasn’t reporting “serious voter fraud” in the Democratic-leaning states of California, New Hampshire and Virginia.
