Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sent out– and then deleted– a tweet accusing rival Ted Cruz of having illegally stolen the Iowa caucus Wednesday.
Trump later sent out an identical tweet, but with the word “illegally” and other typos removed.
Ted Cruz didn’t win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!

Trump went on to explain that Cruz “stole” the election with a controversial mailer and by spreading a rumor that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race. (Cruz later apologized for the latter). As a result, he demanded either that a new Iowa caucus be held, or that the results be nullified.
During primetime of the Iowa Caucus, Cruz put out a release that @RealBenCarson was quitting the race, and to caucus (or vote) for Cruz.

Many people voted for Cruz over Carson because of this Cruz fraud. Also, Cruz sent out a VOTER VIOLATION certificate to thousands of voters.

The Voter Violation certificate gave poor marks to the unsuspecting voter(grade of F) and told them to clear it up by voting for Cruz. Fraud

And finally, Cruz strongly told thousands of caucusgoers (voters) that Trump was strongly in favor of ObamaCare and “choice” – a total lie!

Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified.
