Iran Press/America: Last week, Trump tweeted “Rigged election!” and also posted a video purportedly showing a man caught on camera while paying cash for ballot exchange.
Trump has repeatedly cast doubt on mail voting, claiming that mail-in ballots lead to mass voter fraud.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic however millions of people prefer not to vote in person.
Experts believe that by escalating his ongoing attack on mail-in ballots, Trump is preparing the ground to contest the election as” rigged or fraudulent” in the event of losing the election, and push the US into chaos.
Last month, Trump refused to commit to leave office peacefully if he loses the election.
Asked if he loses this year’s election to Biden, will he accept the results and commit to a peaceful transition, Trump said, “We’re going to have to see what happens.”
“We’ll want to have — get rid of the ballots and you’ll have a very — we’ll have a very peaceful — there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There’ll be a continuation,’ Trump said.
American political commentator and journalist Thomas Friedman has warned that the United States could be headed towards a second civil war after Trump’s refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power and relinquish his office should he lose in the election.
The US presidential election will be held on November 3, 2020.
