Donald Trump states that the November presidential election can ‘be rigged’
US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has cast doubt over the validity of the result of the November election.
Addressing his supporters in the city of Columbus, Ohio, on Monday, Trump warned that the upcoming presidential vote might be rigged.
“I’m afraid the election is going to be rigged,” he said. “I have to be honest.”
The billionaire businessman said he hears “more and more” that the November 8 vote may not be contested fairly.
He stated that the Republican primaries were slanted against him but his “landslide” victories helped him in overcoming the insurmountable “fixed” system.
“I think my side was rigged. If I didn’t win by massive landslides,” he said.
Trump made the remarks after suggesting that the Democratic Party had fixed its primaries to help Hillary Clinton defeat Bernie Sanders in the race for presidential nomination.
