True the Vote, an organization founded to stop voter fraud, has backed President-elect Donald J. Trump’s statement Sunday that “millions of people” had voted illegally.

Trump made his statement as he claimed to have won the popular vote, in addition to the electoral vote, on Nov. 8. The claim was a partial response to Democrats’ efforts to recount votes in Wisconsin, which Trump won.

True the Vote released a press statement on Sunday, which is reproduced below, in full (original emphasis):

We are still collecting data and will be for several months, but our intent is to publish a comprehensive study on the significant impact of illegal voting in all of its many forms and begin a national discussion on how voters, states, and the Trump Administration can best address this growing problem.”
