Dailycaller.com reports: Trump’s tweet comes less than 24 hours ahead of the 2018 midterm elections ahead of a last-minute campaign push.

The president has long been concerned about illegal voting and even claimed in the early days of his presidency that millions of people illegally cast votes in the 2016 presidential election. He has declared that he would have won the popular vote in his race against Hillary Clinton if it were not for millions of illegal votes cast.
