"U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said without evidence in a tweet on Sunday that he won the popular vote in the Nov. 8 election "if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally."
"The allegation by Trump, who won the required votes in the Electoral College to secure the presidency, comes as Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's lead in the popular vote over Trump has surpassed two million votes and is expected to grow to more than 2.5 million as ballots in populous states such as California continue to be tallied.
"Clinton's legal team said on Saturday it had agreed to participate in a recount of Wisconsin votes after the state's election board approved the effort requested by Green Party candidate Jill Stein,
which Trump has called "ridiculous."
"In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally," the Republican Trump tweeted as reporters waited for him to leave his Mar-a-Lago golf resort in Florida to fly back to his residence in New York City.
"In a subsequent tweet, he alleged that "serious" voter fraud had occurred in California, New Hampshire and Virginia, and that the media were ignoring the story.
"Those three states were won by Clinton.
"The source of the claims is unclear, although the conspiracy-minded website Infowars posited a week after the election, without supporting evidence, that widespread voter fraud had occurred."

Good job there, Drumpf. Indeed, we should recount all 50 states now.
