Half of Republicans in new poll say millions of ballots were cast illegally in 2016

Almost half of the Republican respondents in a new poll said they believe millions of voters illegally cast ballots in the 2016 presidential election, as President Trump has claimed.

Forty-eight percent of Republicans in the HuffPost/YouGov poll said they believe as many as 5 million votes were cast illegally, compared to 17 percent who said they do not. More than one-third of Republican respondents, 35 percent, said they are unsure.

A majority of Democratic respondents, 51 percent, said they don’t believe millions of people voted illegally. Approximately one-quarter of Democrats said they believe millions of ballots were cast illegally, while the other 26 percent said they are unsure.

More than one-quarter of all respondents, 28 percent, said they believed millions of illegal votes were cast, pollsters found. Roughly one-third of all voters said the opposite and roughly one-third said they are unsure.

This bullshit has been debunked countless times. It's no one's fault but heir own that they still believe it.

The Orange Dotard makes things up to be the way he wants, and his minions claim to believe him. On some level, I bet they really don't. They just think they can make their own reality.

the lies have been successfully inserted into the public consciousness.
by 2020, Trump will be able to make this claim and be taken seriously by a majority of the electorate. such is the goal.
