Pres. Trump maintains Election 2016 marred by voter fraud

U.S. President Donald Trump is sticking to his claim, some 3-5 million voter illegally in the 2016 election.

Donald Trump won the majority of states and electoral college, but lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes.

The White House has not provided any evidence to back up the claim of massive voter fraud, but spokesman Sean Spicer is sticking to what the president said.

IN: "The president...
OUT: ...to him."

Reporters tried to get Sean Spicer to clarify President Trump's claim.

The Pew Research Center found in 2012 that 13 percent of voter registrations are invalid due to Americans moving or dying, but not because they are actually illegally registered or not citizens eligible to vote.
