Top US elections official slams President Trump’s repeated allegations of rampant election fraud.
The top elections official in the U.S. on Monday slammed President Donald Trump’s repeated allegations of rampant election fraud and doubled down on a demand that he stop making such claims.
“Facts matter, and people of America need to be able to believe what their leaders tell them,” Federal Elections Commission Chair Ellen Weintraub“It is damaging to our democracy to spread information that … is baseless,” she added. Weintraub, a Democrat, said the issue had been studied by academics, lawyers and government officials from both parties — “and no one can find any evidence of rampant voter fraud either historically or particularly in the 2016 elections.”
“These are serious allegations,” Weintraub said, adding that if Trump has proof to support his claims, he should make it public."There is no evidence of rampant voter fraud in 2016," says FEC chair Ellen Weintraub."To be suggesting to people that if the candidate they choose doesn't win, that it's because of fraud, that undermines our democracy."
