The illegal votes issue.
Do I think there are 2-3 million illegal votes cast? NO.
Are there fraudulent votes? Yes, they are some. Trump's real goal here is not to find them all but to expose some examples that lead to voting laws such as dead people, and people who have moved out of the state being removed from the eligibility list. Both will help to eliminate fraud.
Trump might ask for a law that requires voter ID for federal elections. Then perhaps an increased bill passed with teeth to it for anyone committing voter fraud that includes prison. I'm for both.
My guess is maybe a quarter of a percent of all votes that counted were illegally in one way or another. Certainly plausible, right? Now extrapolate this to a large population and you can get say 40,000 or more illegally cast votes in a large state. Enough to swing a state or even federal election? Yeah.
