Trump baselessly accuses Democrats of 'rigging' the November election during Nevada rally
At a campaign rally in Nevada, President Donald Trump on Saturday repeated unsubstantiated claims that mail-in ballots would contribute to widespread voter fraud in the November election.
"Let's face it - Joe is shot," he said."He's going to be locked up someplace, and the radical left is going to be running our country." Trump addressed the change in location on Saturday, accusing Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak, a Democrat, of attempting to shut down the campaign rally because of political bias.
The state is one of several where registered voters can request to cast their ballots by mail. Dozens of other states will also allow mail-in voting this November. Despite his stated opposition to it, Trump requested his own mail-in ballot earlier this year. Trump appears to face long odds in Nevada, which gave its six electoral votes to Hillary Clinton in 2016. His campaign is now hoping to score a backup route to victory if his luck fails to turn in other battleground states.
Trump's campaign hoped to raise $18 million this weekend from a rally in Las Vegas and a fundraiser in Washington, D.C.
