Run over into the thousands and there were many precincts in which there was an overvote. Now let me explain to you what an overvote is which is something you should have explained to the American people because it\u2019s about the clearest circumstantial evidence of massive fraud that you can have. An overvote is if 200% of the people who are registered in a district vote. Think about that. 200% of the registered voters in a district vote. What does that mean? That means somebody voted twice, that means somebody who\u2019s not entitled to vote voted, an illegal, a person from another city or state, a person who\u2019s not registered, but what it means is that those are illegitimate votes. You don\u2019t have an overvote of 200% or 300%.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A similar claim was earlier widespread in November. It compares two datasets \u2014 registered voters in eight US states vs higher corresponding number under the heading &#8220;projected votes&#8221;.
