US Republican presidential contender, Donald Trump, has given the only condition he would accept defeat in the ongoing presidential election in the United States.
The former President said he would be prepared to concede defeat in Tuesday’s election only “if it’s a fair election.”
Trump, however, raised concerns about the use of electronic voting machines.
“If I lose an election, if it’s a fair election, I would be the first one to acknowledge it… So far I think it’s been fair,” Trump told reporters after voting in Florida.
“They spend all this money on machines… If they would use paper ballots, voter ID, proof of citizenship, and one-day voting, it would all be over by 10 o’clock in the evening. It’s crazy,” he told reporters in West Palm Beach.
“Do you know that paper is more sophisticated now than computers? If it’s watermarked paper you cannot… It’s unbelievable what happens with it. There’s nothing you can do to cheat.”
On the fears of unrest after the election, Trump added, “I don’t have to tell them that, that there’ll be no violence. Of course there’ll be no violence. My supporters are not violent people.”
