He told the Associated Press today:
To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election. There's been one assertion that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results and the DHS and DOJ have looked into that, and so far, we haven't seen anything to substantiate that.
There's a growing tendency to use the criminal justice system as sort of a default fix-all, and people don't like something they want the Department of Justice to come in and "investigate."
Most claims of fraud are very particularized to a particular set of circumstances or actors or conduct. They are not systemic allegations and those have been run down; they are being run down. Some have been broad and potentially cover a few thousand votes. They have been followed up on.
