Trump repeats claim that "millions and millions of people" voted illegally in 2016

Trump repeats claim that "millions and millions of people" voted illegally in 2016
From CNN's Jeremy Diamond

President Donald Trump revived his claim that millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 election, claiming that "millions and millions" of people voted multiple times in the election.

"In many places the same person in California votes many times," said Trump, at the official White House event in West Virginia on tax cuts. "They always like to say, 'Oh that's a conspiracy theory.' It's not a conspiracy theory. Millions and millions of people and it's very hard because the state guards their records."

Trump has made this claim before.

there very well could have been millions of Russian bots voting Trump... dispersed over many hacked polling stations so not to garner attention... coincidentally the same way financial theft frequently operates (and gets away).

Dang, how many people actually live there? Incredible that with that many fake votes they still couldn't find any evidence of it.
