Donald Trump has falsely claimed that “millions of illegals” voted in the 2016 election and cost him the popular vote. While this is completely untrue, the closest thing to proof that has been referenced is a study that showed that million of voter records need to be updated to remove people who moved or have died. However, it’s important to point out that there is no voter fraud associated with these voter records.
Trump’s white supremacist strategist is registered to vote in two states
But if Trump wants to find the people who are registered in multiple states he won’t have to look very far. That’s because his White House strategist white supremacist strategist Steve Bannon is actually one of the people who is registered to vote in multiple states.
According to the Guardian:
Stephen Bannon registered to vote in New York shortly before the presidential election last year, after the Guardian disclosed that he was registered to vote at a vacant house in Florida where his ex-wife had once lived.
Bannon, whose registration lists a rented apartment in Manhattan as his address, cast his ballot for Trump in New York, according to a source familiar with his arrangements, who was not authorized to speak to the media.
Bannon, however, also remains registered to vote in Florida, according to state records. His registration lists as his address the home of Andy Badolato, a friend of Bannon’s who has worked on some of his political documentary films and written for Breitbart News, the far-right website that Bannon controlled before entering the White House as chief strategist and senior counselor to the president.
Trump announced via Twitter on Wednesday morning that he is doubling down on his voter fraud lie by saying, “I will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and … even, those registered to vote who are dead (and many for a long time). Depending on results, we will strengthen up voting procedures!”
There, of course, is no evidence for the voter fraud that Donald Trump is claiming because it is not true, Trump is simply lying about it. And when asked by the press to provide evidence Donald Trump’s press secretary said they don’t need evidence because Donald Trump has believed this for a long time.
