Tens of thousands of people have reacted to US voter-fraud allegations, after a blogger claimed her mother\u2019s maiden name had been used to illegally cast a ballot. However, some believe it’s just another \u2018baseless conspiracy.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n

The hashtag #MaidenGate was launched late on Monday to highlight the story of the Donald Trump-supporting blogger \u2018Lauren,\u2019 who also goes by the letter \u2018L\u2019\u00a0online<\/a>. By Tuesday morning, it had become one of the top American Twitter trends, having prompted tens of thousands of tweets, despite the fact that L\u2019s claims are baseless as of yet.<\/p>\n

The MaidenGate saga began with Lauren\u2019s claim that her mother\u2019s vote\u00a0had been<\/a>\u201cstolen in Michigan,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0where she used to live, by someone unknown who had used her maiden name to vote there. According to the blogger, her mother had told her about unusual election-related\u00a0message<\/a>\u00a0she had received prior to Election Day. The message seemed curious to both women, as they were apparently falsely implying the mother was going to vote in Michigan.<\/p>\n

Lauren also tweeted that her mother had only mentioned the message to her once Election Day was over, but that she now\u00a0claims<\/a>\u00a0to have\u00a0\u201cevidence,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0as yet undisclosed, of a fraudulent vote having been cast.<\/p>\n

The incident prompted Lauren to start an\u00a0awareness campaign<\/a>\u00a0urging voters to check their voting data by looking up any previous name they had been known by or any addresses in other states where they had once lived.<\/p>\n

Lauren made efforts to draw the attention of a number of prominent conservative personalities to the MaidenGate trend. Some Trump supporters had been alleging voter fraud in the election since the Republican president himself cited it as the reason he was slated to lose it. Trump-supporting pundit Michelle Malkin took up the charge to spread the word about the alleged MaidenGate conspiracy, implying that the pro-Women activist group Supermajority might have been involved in it.<\/p>\n
