http://www.businessinsider.com/cnn-fights-trump-baseless-v**er-fraud-claims-2016-11President-elect Donald Trump went head to head on Twitter with CNN anchor Jeff Zeleny over Trump's unfounded claims that there were "millions" of illegal v**es cast in the 2016 e******n.
Zeleny referred to Trump as a "sore winner" in an on-air report Monday night, after the president-elect failed to provide any evidence of the rampant v***r f***d that he asserted.
In response, Trump promoted a series of tweets from his supporters attacking Zeleny, including one that called the newsman a "part time wannabe journalist."
Zeleny fired back at Trump, challenging him to provide proof of his v***r f***d claims: "@realDonaldTrump Good evening! Have been looking for examples of v***r f***d. Please send our way. Full-time journalist here still working," Zeleny wrote on Twitter.
The argument stems from a missive Trump tweeted on Sunday without any evidence to back it up: "In addition to winning the E*******l College in a landslide, I won the popular v**e if you deduct the millions of people who v**ed illegally."
Trump's Twitter followers leaned in on Zeleny, and he promoted several of their tweets asking for Zelany to prove Trump wrong (therefore indicating that Trump is clueless about burden proof).
Top e******n officials in states where Trump alleged v***r f***d have rebuked his assertions, calling them "unsubstantiated."
The president-elect previously stoked claims of v***r f***d in the weeks leading up to the p**********l e******n, urging his supporters to be watchful of irregularities at the polls.
Before the e******n, Trump and his surrogates openly predicted that it would be "r****d."
Trump's latest allegations of fraud followed news that Wisconsin officials were preparing a v**e recount that was requested by Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
Although T***p w*n the E*******l College 306-to-232 to beat Democrat Hillary Clinton, he trails by more than 2 million v**es nationwide.
For its part, Clinton's campaign said it would participate in the recount despite having found no "actionable evidence" of impropriety in the polling.
