Source: L.A. Times
With President Donald Trump rehashing last year's accusation of widespread voter fraud in California and elsewhere, the state's top elections official is also restating his take: It's not true.
"When the president says millions of illegal ballots are cast, thats simply not the case," said Secretary of State Alex Padilla in an interview on CNN Wednesday. "It's a lie."
As was the case when Trump made the accusation in November , there's no evidence of such a broad attempt to sway the outcome in California. The president lost the Golden State to Democrat Hillary Clinton by almost 4.3 million votes.
Trump's announcement on Wednesday of a "major investigation" into voter fraud reignited the issue, even though there was also Republican skepticism in the wake of the new round of accusations.

This has got to be the craziest story in a long time, and truly reveals for all

You won. You move on. Nothing to gain here. Irrelevant. Yet he lacks the self-
control or the intelligence, or the judgment, or something, to simply drop it.
These prominent pundits, ok they're Democrats, dropping the mental illness
bombshell this week is telling. Prick this bubble as soon as possible.

He's not gonna let it go.
This hatred will destroy him.
