FEC commissioner to Trump: Prove voter fraud

Source: The Hill

A commissioner on the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) sent President Trump a letter Tuesday demanding that he provide evidence to back up his claims of voter fraud in last year's elections.

“You have alleged that hundreds of thousands of voters were bused from Massachusetts to New Hampshire to vote illegally on Election Day 2016,” Ellen Weintraub wrote in the letter, which was first reported by The Washington Post.

Trump has suggested massive voter fraud helped Democrat Hillary Clinton beat him in the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes. More recently, Trump has also blamed voter fraud for former Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte's defeat in her New Hampshire reelection bid.

“Our democracy depends on the American people’s faith in our elections,” Weintraub, a Democrat who was appointed by former President George W. Bush in 2002, continued.

Now he's finding that when he throws around accusations someone will demand that he back them up. All he can do is bluster and double down, looking even more idiotic.

He may not respond, but he's feeling it. More like this!
