President-elect Trump has tweeted that he would have won the popular vote if millions of illegal immigrants had not cast ballots. The Factor expounded on the subject with a mini-Talking Points Memo: "California and 11 other states now give illegal aliens licenses to drive. Once you have a valid driver's license in California, you are automatically registered to vote if you use some sleight of hand. You must provide a valid Social Security number, but we all know that phony Social Security numbers are legion. So it is not inconceivable that millions of illegal aliens did vote, but it is not a fact, either." Charles Krauthammer disagreed with the Memo and ridiculed Donald Trump's claim. "Of course he cannot back this up. It could be that there are aliens circling the earth and they trained their ray guns on ballot boxes and 3-million GOP votes disappeared. Can you disprove that? There's a difference between saying something 'might have happened' and saying something 'did happen.' That's the issue here." Krauthammer also dismissed Jill Stein's demand for recounts as "a joke" and "a fundraising scam."
