Trump says he’ll concede defeat “if it’s a fair election”
Donald Trump, the US Republican presidential contender, said he would be willing to concede defeat “if it’s a fair election,” while once again expressing concerns over the use of electronic voting machines.
After casting his vote in Florida, Trump told reporters, “If I lose an election, if it’s a fair election, I would be the first one to acknowledge it… So far I think it’s been fair.”
Wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap, Trump reiterated his criticism of electronic voting machines, arguing they were less secure than paper ballots and could delay results.
He suggested that using paper ballots, voter ID, proof of citizenship, and one-day voting would speed up the process and ensure a quicker outcome.
Trump also claimed, “Paper is more sophisticated now than computers. If it’s watermarked paper, you can’t… It’s unbelievable what happens with it. There’s nothing you can do to cheat.”
When asked about potential unrest after the election and whether he would urge supporters to avoid violence, he dismissed the question. “I don’t have to tell them there’ll be no violence. Of course there’ll be no violence. My supporters are not violent people,” Trump responded.
