Trump is still blaming his 2016 New Hampshire loss on voter fraud -- with zero proof

President Trump, per usual, uttered quite a few astonishing soundbites during his 90-minute rally Thursday night in Manchester, N.H.

But he was stirring controversy before he even reached New Hampshire. Speaking to reporters earlier that day as he left his New Jersey golf club, Trump revived an unfounded conspiracy theory that he would have won New Hampshire in 2016 but for buses full of out-of-state voters who illegally cast ballots.

“Thousands and thousands of people coming in from locations unknown. But I knew where the location was,” Trump said.

Sound familiar? Trump dwelled on these unsubstantiated claims for some time early in his presidency. More specifically, he repeatedly accused thousands of Massachusetts residents of boarding buses and hitting the polls in New Hampshire, costing him the swing state’s four electoral votes in 2016 — and also causing former senator Kelly Ayotte, a Republican, to lose her reelection.
