The RNC chair was pressed by Fox News anchors about unsubstantiated claims of widespread irregularities.
Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel did not present concrete examples of alleged voter fraud in her home state of Michigan and elsewhere when pressed by Fox News anchors on Friday, instead urging Americans to “give us time” to produce evidence of irregularities.
Asked about President Donald Trump’s remaining path to victory with Democratic nominee Joe Biden now leading Trump in three key uncalled swing states — any of which could put him over the 270 electoral vote threshold for election — McDaniel urged patience.
“We have seen a lot of irregularities, Bret,” she told anchor Bret Baier, claiming that in Michigan, where the Trump campaign is pushing for a recount, “we’ve been pursuing reports coming in on our hotline, people who were disenfranchised from observing the vote count and some more serious allegations that we’re seeing.”
Pressed for more specifics, McDaniel said she would be holding a news conference later in the day.
“It is serious. I want to let it play out and allow the lawyers to look at this,” she insisted. “It is not something that’s little.”
McDaniel’s vague claims of voter fraud come as the president looks to be on the verge of defeat, with Biden’s edge in a number of pivotal states growing as election officials continue to tally absentee and mail-in ballots cast in droves this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Yeah. Let’s manufacture more fraud claims and phony evidence to go along with them.

This is instructive for those who care about the truth.
One does *not* walk into court with a bag full of rumors and call it evidence.
