On Tuesday, President Obama tore into Donald Trump's "unprecedented" claims of voter fraud, declaring them "based on no facts." "I have never seen, in my lifetime or in modern political history, any presidential candidate trying to discredit the elections and the election process, before votes have even taken place," Obama said, adding that Trump should "stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes."
Throughout the presidential election, Trump has repeatedly suggested the system is 'rigged.' During a rally in Wisconsin on Monday night, Trump claimed votes from "1.8 million deceased individuals" and undocumented immigrants could sway the election and cause him to lose.
