https://www.yahoo.com/news/disguised-illegal-v**ers-cost-republicans-midterm-victories-trump-211538601.htmlWashington (AFP) - President Donald Trump on Wednesday said Democrats wearing disguises and v****g more than once were responsible for Republican losses in tight congressional e******ns.
"The Republicans don't win and that's because of potentially illegal v**es," Trump was quoted as saying by right-wing website The Daily Caller.
Final results have yet to be declared in multiple races following last week's midterm polls, with tense recounts underway in Florida.
The midterm races for governor and senator in the politically important state are so close that recounts are obligatory. Republican Rick Scott was ahead of incumbent Democratic Senator Bill Nelson by just 50.1 to 49.9 percent, according to the latest unofficial count.
Democrats have accused Republicans of maneuvering to prevent full v**e tallies, while Trump told The Daily Caller that v***r f***d had tipped the contest into chaos.
Trump claimed, without providing any evidence, that blatant use of f**e v**ers in disguise had swung close e******ns.
"When people get in line that have absolutely no right to v**e and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and v**e again. Nobody takes anything. It's really a disgrace what’s going on," Trump said.
Republicans have pushed hard for tighter rules requiring v**ers to show identification when they come to cast b****ts. Democrats have resisted, arguing that the number of false v**ers is miniscule and that demanding IDs would have the effect of suppressing turnout, especially of poorer b***k A******ns, in favor of the Republicans.
Trump shot back, saying that any ordinary shopper already carried documents that could be used at a polling station.
"If you buy a box of cereal -- you have a v**er ID," he was quoted as saying.
"They try to shame everybody by calling them r****t, or calling them something, anything they can think of, when you say you want v**er ID," he said.
