4 Things to Know About Trump’s New Voter Fraud Claim
< < Go Back
President Donald Trump and his 2016 Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, began relitigating that contest on Twitter on Monday regarding the role that search results played in the election.
“Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election!” Trump tweeted. “This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should be sued. My victory was even bigger than thought!”
Trump won the Electoral College by a decisive 304 to 227 tally, but Clinton won the popular vote by 2.8 million.
Epstein, not a Trump supporter, rejected the president’s characterization.
“I have never claimed that Google deliberately manipulated the 2016 election, and the upper limit I put on a possible vote shift was 10.4 million, not 16 million,” Epstein told The Daily Signal.
In Epstein’s testimony before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee in July, he told the panel: “This system must be built to keep an eye on Big Tech in 2020, because if these companies all support the same candidate—and that’s likely, needless to say—they will be able to shift upwards of 15 million votes to that candidate with no one knowing and without leaving a paper trail.”
