White House Debunks Trump’s Electoral Fraud Claims

The White House on Tuesday strongly refuted the claim made by President-elect, Donald Trump that there were widespread voters’ fraud in the 2016 US Presidential Election.

The refutation came barely 24-hours when Trump alleged that there were electoral fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California.

The White House Press Officer Josh Earnest in a terse statement dismissed the president-elect’s unsubstantiated allegations.

“What I can say, as an objective fact, is that there has been no evidence produced to substantiate a claim like that.” he told reporters at a White House briefing.

Trump, who won the all-important Electoral College count, aired his grievances with the election result in a tweet on Sunday.

“In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” he wrote.

The president-elect’s Twitter outburst came after the camp of Mrs Clinton, his Democratic rival, said it would support a vote recount in Wisconsin initiated by Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
