USA VOTES 2016

The latest news & results from the 2016 US election campaign

November 9, 2016 By Oliver Dyer Leave a Comment

Is Trump contradicting himself?

“Rigged”- a word used obsessively by Donald J. Trump throughout this US presidential election. But with the man himself on the verge of winning, has he dug himself into a hole?

Possibly so.

He sued Nevada officials earlier today over voting polls being extended by three hours, ultimately calling into question the authenticity of the vote.

Trump said of the polls:

“It’s largely a rigged system. And you see it at the polling booths, too.”

However, just hours later the New York Times are predicting him to win the election with 168 votes to Clinton’s 109. 

So Trump, if you do win and what you have said is true, will you still remain adamant its ‘rigged’?
