Politifact rates Trump's claim of voter fraud.
See if you can guess its conclusion. Let me just say the fire department has been called to put out the smoldering pile of fabric ash that used to cover his backside.
No doubt our orange-skinned friend will be chastened by these facts and hasten to apologize and amend his rhetoric.

These charges do not reflect reality.
News 21, a national investigative reporting project funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, found 150 alleged cases of double voting, 56 cases of noncitizens voting, and 10 cases of voter impersonation across all elections from 2000 to 2011. Many of these allegations never led to charges, while others were acquitted or dismissed.
Justin Levitt, a professor at Loyola Law School and an expert on voter fraud, found an even smaller number: 31 credible incidents out of more than 1 billion votes cast from 2000 to 2014.
Put it in another way: More people are struck by lightning or attacked by sharks than are accused of voter fraud.
No doubt our orange-skinned friend will be chastened by these facts and hasten to apologize and amend his rhetoric.
