Trump Embraces Conspiracy Theorist to Promote Illegal Vote Claim

Trump latches on to ‘VoteStand,’ which may not exist


Mr. Trump is just not going to give up his claim that 3 million to 5 million illegal immigrants voted for Hillary Clinton, and he’s grasping for evidence.

On Friday morning, he looked to VoteStand, which calls itself “America’s first online fraud reporting app” for the smartphone but does not appear to actually exist beyond the Twitter account of its founder, Gregg Phillips.

The president seemed to be responding to an interview with Mr. Phillips on CNN Friday morning that was, shall we say, inconclusive. Mr. Phillips at once said 3 million illegal immigrants voted and said he is still working to prove that.

“You can reach a conclusion and still verify it,” he maintained.

"The idiot and his supporters think all 'illegal' votes would somehow land in HRC's column. Not once considering that some 'illegal' votes could be cast for him."
