18% : Trump won that year by taking a majority in the state-by-state Electoral College system, but secured less of the national popular vote than Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, a result that Trump falsely claimed was the result of millions of noncitizen immigrants illegally voting.
14% : "A lot of these illegal immigrants coming in, they're trying to get them to vote," Trump said in his Sept. 11 debate against Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
8% : "The lies being spread by Trump ... about noncitizen voting have been repeatedly debunked," U.S. Representative Joseph Morelle, top Democrat on a House committee that oversees elections, said in a recent MSNBC opinion piece.
