President Donald Trump on Friday refused to condemn solid evidence of massive voter fraud in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District, citing other dubious examples of voter fraud.

"I condemn any electoral fraud on the part of a voter, be it Democrat or Republican," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "But when you look at some of the things that happened in California in particular, when you look at what happened in Texas with all the votes that they've recently found, they did not go off properly. . I condemn all this. "

During Trump's response on Friday, a journalist interrupted to report that the election fraud cases in California and Texas have turned out to be false or misleading. But Trump went on to say, "Excuse me, excuse me," and continue to focus on questionable allegations in California and Texas.

Trump also cited the controversial Florida governorship last year where "Republican candidates continued to receive less and less". During the race, the Republicans claimed that the ballots had been mishandled, resulting in biased results. fraud. Republican Ron DeSantis finally won the governor's race.

Trump has repeatedly asserted that the country was beset by massive electoral fraud and has accused millions of people of illegally voting in California in the 2016 elections. The claim has been repeatedly denied, but that did not stop the president to use the idea of ​​massive electoral fraud to stir up fear of undocumented immigrants and to strengthen stricter voter identity laws.

The race between Republican Mark Harris and Democrat Dan McCready, however, was deemed worthy of a complete reshuffle after an investigation revealed the evidence that Leslie McCrae Dowless Jr., an agent paid for by the Harris campaign, had illegally collected postal votes.

Trump briefly recognized the race in North Carolina in his response Friday, but gave no credence to the idea that it was a legitimate scandal.

"I condemn all this. And that includes North Carolina, if anything – I guess they're going to make a final report. But I would like to see the final report. Any form of electoral fraud, I condemn it, "said Trump.
