During his show “Lou Dobbs Tonight” on Thursday evening, the Fox News host baselessly claimed that “millions of illegal immigrants” had crossed the U.S. border to come to America and vote in the midterms and “having an immense impact.”

Dobbs is just the latest to latch onto voter fraud speculation this election cycle, a talking point largely perpetuated by conservatives. In the Florida recount between Sen. Bill Nelson (D) and Republican Gov. Rick Scott, Scott joined President Trump in throwing out unsubstantiated claims that certain counties were committing fraud in the recount.
