Donald Trump's weekend tweetstorm reminds us that there really is a fraud in this election

Over the weekend, President-elect Donald Trump made the case why we must have an immediate  general recount of the whole election.

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

Millions of illegal votes. That’s something that definitely requires some attention. It’s a claim of the greatest recorded voter fraud in American history by at least a couple of orders of magnitude. Close examination of past elections have found only a handful of fraudulent votes, and while we do know of at least one Trump voter who was caught voting multiple times, the president-elect would surely have to have considerable evidence before making such a claim. 

The president-elect has not provided any evidence for these claims.

Wait. No evidence? Calling the entire election into doubt with claims of massive fraud kind of fits the whole scenario of “attack on democracy.” Surely no one in a position of power would do so without a great deal of verified proof.

President-elect Donald Trump alleged Sunday, without evidence, that "millions of people" voted illegally for Hillary Clinton and otherwise he would have won the popular vote. It's an unprecedented allegation by a president-elect.

Or at least, some really disturbing evidence of fraud.

President-elect Donald Trump tweeted a stream of thus-far baseless claims of voter fraud Sunday, indicating that the Hillary Clinton campaign's involvement in an election recount was hypocritical.

Okay. Fine. Do over!
