US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would seek an investigation of what he believes was voter fraud in the November election, despite overwhelming consensus among state officials, election experts and politicians that voter fraud is rare in the United States. State officials have said they found no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the election and there is no history of it in US elections. @BernieSanders on Trump's unsubstantiated voter fraud claims: "He is sending a message" to GOP "to go forward with voter suppression." A voter fraud case he prosecuted as a US attorney in Alabama helped derail his confirmation as a federal judge in 1986. A 2007 Brennan Center report titled “The Truth About Voter Fraud,” cited voter fraud incident rates between 0.00004% and 0.0009%.
