Now a Federal Election Commission official wants Trump to prove it.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"font-size:18px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Trump got 46.5% of the vote, compared to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton&#39;s 46.8%. She received the state&#39;s four electoral votes. Such an allegation would mean that thousands of people illegally voted in New Hampshire &mdash; a felony under New Hampshire law, commissioner Ellen L. Weintraub said in a statement Friday afternoon.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"font-size:18px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;As a Commissioner on the Federal Election Commission, I am acutely aware that our democracy rests on the faith of the American people in the integrity of their elections,&quot; she wrote in a statement. &quot;The President has issued an extraordinarily serious and specific charge. Allegations of this magnitude cannot be ignored.&quot;<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"font-size:18px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Politico and The Associated Press reported that Trump made the claims Thursday during a private lunch meeting with a bipartisan group of 10 senators about judge Neil Gorsuch&#39;s nomination to the Supreme Court. Ayotte also was present because she is working with Gorsuch.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"font-size:18px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">It&#39;s not the first time Trump has made claims about voter fraud without presenting evidence. In meeting with lawmakers last month, Trump claimed that 3 to 5 million illegal voters cost him the popular vote (Clinton won the popular vote in November by nearly 3 million). He also tweeted he would ask for &quot;a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states&quot; and &quot;those registered to vote who are dead&#8230;&quot;<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"font-size:8px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Source:-&nbsp;http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/onpolitics\/2017\/02\/10\/federal-election-commissioner-wants-proof-donald-trump-new-hampshire-voter-fraud-claims\/97772644\/<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/news\/fec-official-wants-proof-new-hampshire-voter-fraud-claims.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FEC official wants proof of New Hampshire voter fraud claims FEC official wants proof of New Hampshire voter fraud claims:- President Trump reportedly claimed during a meeting with lawmakers Thursday that out-of-state voters were bused into New Hampshire, costing him and Republican Sen.
