The Set-up

Trump spokesman Stephen Miller: Essentially saying that Trump’s accusations about voter fraud are sufficient, there is no need for evidence. Seriously expected him to start spouting “You vill LISSEN, you vill AGREE, you vill OBEY!”

SNL couldn’t have scripted him better. But they will.

He kept conflating "registered to vote illegally" with voter fraud (actually casting a ballot illegally).

Many, many states do no purge voter databases every year or every election, and if the voter doesn't take and action to remove themselves, they are left in the voter registration database. I think both Steve Bannon and Tiffany Trump found that they are "illegally" registered to vote in more than one state. Simply moving to another state and registering to vote there can easily allow this to happen. This does not imply voter fraud, as much as the right would like to believe.

As for the busloads of voters voting in New Hampshire who are coming from MA... if everyone knows about it there (as the mini-twitler implied), there should be huge amounts of video evidence. It should be well known.

If the Democrats win big in 2018 the seed of doubt will already have been planted. This is a classic totalitarian/Fascist strategy.
