Donald Trump Says Early Voting Lines Are Evidence of 'Rigged' System

As Donald Trump swept his campaign across the country in a final sprint, he claimed that long lines in Clark County, Nevada, were evidence of electoral wrongdoing.

"It’s being reported that certain key Democratic polling locations in Clark County were kept open for hours and hours beyond closing time to bus and bring Democratic voters in," Trump said.

"Folks, it's a rigged system. It's a rigged system. And we're going to beat it," he said.

Before Trump took the stage, Michael McDonald, the state chairman of the Nevada Republican Party seemed to assert that the polls were staying open to allow for "a certain group" to vote.

"Last night in Clark County. They kept a poll open until 10 o’clock at night so a certain group could vote. It wasn’t in an area that normally has high transition," he said. "You think this is a free and easy election?"

Clark County, according to the latest Census data, is over 30 percent Hispanic; registration numbers show Democrats out-registered Republicans.

According to ABC station KNTV, More than 57,000 people had voted in Clark County Friday as of 10 p.m., breaking a record for single-day early voting.

Clark County has cited no evidence of any wrongdoing.

Here we go.  Trump is fanning the embers of delusion into the fires of insurrection.

The Reichstag fire may be upon us soon enough.

In other words, Trump says that anyone that doesn't vote for Trump is evidence of a 'system' rigged against him.

He's telegraphed what he thinks the system consists of...

...and that he's going to smash it.

(Hint: that means targeting every single American that did not/will not vote for him.  And it looks like our domestic spy agency, the FBI, may be in cahoots with it.)

So, if he keeps claiming it is rigged, over and over, and he wins, is he saying it was rigged in his favor?

Ah, but he also says ... "and we're going to beat it".  With several reports of dead people voting, people voting multiple times and Trump votes being tallied as Clinton votes, I have absolutely no doubt that it's rigged.  Clinton plays dirty, does anyone really think she's not doing everything she can to ensure she wins?

We've been warning that for months now.

There was a reason we were comparing him to the despots of 20's and 30's Europe.

Because he has exhibited and is following the same blueprints.

And the mobs want a savior - 'to make ze fatherland great again!'

Winners don't whine that stuff is unfair.

In the next 2 days Clinton is going to PA MI NH FL.  Clinton knows her path to 270 and she is focused where she is weaker than she would like.

Trump is hitting CO NH OH PA FL NC NV IO WI MI.  He doesn't know his path to 270 or he needs them all.

It's the scariest part of Trump IMO, the fact that he eggs his supporters on.


Guy is determined to throw the US into a new civil war. Or is it just me?

Ahh, but the rigged system that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... bigly logic... that a duplicate key to every ballot box DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled my twitter account out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some me but ...

A few days out from election.  I'm disappointed people are so hardened in their false narrative of Mr. Trump... From my perspective, discussion with NeverTrump is futile.

You continue to ignore Trump's own words, his words that prove he is a certified nut case.

I look forward to his concession speech.  It'll be a doozy.

Like when a guy with a sign becomes a guy with a gun and an assassination attempt?
