Was There Illegal Voting? Corey Lewandowski Denies Donald Trump's New Hampshire Voter Fraud Claim
Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, has denied the president's false claim that there was massive voter fraud in New Hampshire, costing him the 2016 popular vote. Lewandowski, a resident of the state, said he didn't see evidence of voter fraud.
“I live on the border,” Lewandowski said in an interview with CNN's The Axe Files podcast, The Huffington Post reported. “I didn’t see buses coming across the line to say that, hey, we’ve moved up from Massachusetts.”
The president has alleged that Democrat Hillary Clinton won the popular vote because undocumented imigrants illegally cast millions of votes against him, among other unverified incidents of fraud. Trump has told senators and insisted on Twitter that he would have won in New Hampshire if not for "thousands" of people who were "brought on buses" from Massachusetts to illegally cast ballots in New Hampshire. Trump has also said he would demand a major investigation into voter fraud in the country, headed by Vice President Mike Pence.
"I don't think you have that," Lewandowski said of the fraud claim.
Other New Hampshire Republicans have also defended the state's voting process, including a former GOP state party chair and the current New Hampshire secretary of state. But White House policy adviser Stephen Miller has insisted that the Trump administration has ample evidence of widespread voter fraud, none of which has been shared with the public.
“The White House has provided enormous evidence with respect to voter fraud, with respect to people being registered in more than one state,” Miller told ABC’s “This Week.” “Dead people voting, non-citizens being registered to vote. George, it is a fact and you will not deny it that are massive numbers of non-citizens in this country who are registered to vote.”
Clinton won more voters than any other losing presidential candidate in U.S. history. She received almost 2.9 million votes more than Trump, or with 65,844,954 votes to his 62,979,879, according to revised and certified final election results in December.
