Miller, who briefly worked on Scott Brown’s failed 2014 senate campaign in New Hampshire, told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that voter fraud is a major issue both nation-wide and in New Hampshire.
“Having worked before on a campaign in New Hampshire, I can tell you that this issue of busing voters into New Hampshire is widely known by anyone who’s worked in New Hampshire politics,” Miller said. “It’s very real, it’s very serious.”
His remarks drew sharp criticism from state election officials — and fellow Republicans. “There’s zero evidence to support it,” former state GOP chair Fergus Cullen said. “It’s preposterous, completely untrue, delusional.”
“For Mr. Miller to make up such an outrageous lie is unacceptable for anyone who works in the White House,” Ray Buckley, chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, said. “It’s an outrageous attack on the people of New Hampshire. We run among the finest operation in the first in the nation primary and in our general election.”
While the administration has never produced any evidence of widespread fraud — and election officials and experts have condemned the claims as completely baseless — top White House officials, including President Donald Trump himself, continue to suggest there was widespread wrongdoing during the election. Trump said during a private meeting with senators that “thousands” of people on buses from Massachusetts cost him and former Sen. Kelly Ayotte victories in that state. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton defeated Trump by nearly 3,000 votes, while Ayotte lost to Sen. Maggie Hassan by just 743 votes.
