The election is rigged, unless Trump wins.
Trump’s repeated claim that the election is rigged is unfounded, almost certainly false, and threatens the foundation of our democratic society. Every time he feels threatened or his poll numbers drop, he becomes an eight year old who can’t admit he lost his little league game and blames it on the umpire's bad call. But Trump isn’t an eight year old and the ‘game’ he is playing will decide the future of America.
Trump is a candidate, that even at the best of times, is difficult to take seriously, but when he has called out the Republican party, the judicial system, and even the Emmy’s for being rigged against him, who can take him seriously?
What about 41% of American voters. Maybe that's the …show more content…

When Donald Trump tweets “Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!”, voter fraud seems like a prevalent issue. But is it?
No, not really. I have to say that even if it really did happen on a wide scale, and that's a big if, it would take a huge number of votes to make a difference and that's just not the case.
In the last ten years, with over a billion ballots being cast, only 31 instances of voter fraud have been found, meaning that “you are more likely to be struck by lightning in the next year (a one in 1,042,000 chance, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) than to find a case of voter fraud by impersonation”.
So I think it’s pretty fair to rule this out as the reason Trump will lose the election, especially when there are so many valid reasons he should not become our next president.
I think we can agree that voter fraud isn’t going to lose Trump the election, so what about the “lamestream” media rigging the election for …show more content…
While all the facts point to the integrity of the United States democratic process, not that facts have ever stopped Donald Trump, the spread of the belief that the election has been rigged has the potential to destabilize the nation and economy. On of the key democratic principles is the peaceful transfer of power, and without this democracy cannot succeed.
In the past candidates have supported this system and conceded to their opponent even in murky circumstances. In 2000 when Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the election, he offered his concession and support of president Bush “for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy”. This is the foundation of Democracy in the free world.
When asked if he would honor the results of the election, Donald Trump replied “I will tell you at the time. I will keep you in
