The Donald Trump campaign on Sunday heaped more blame on the media, accusing news organizations of “rigging” the election for Democratic rival Hillary Clinton but vowing to accept the Nov. 8 results -- win or lose.
CNN Digital
Donald Trump and his surrogates amplified their argument over the weekend that the election is "rigged," leaving the Republican nominee more isolated as top members of the GOP -- including his own running mate -- declared their faith in the political system.
The Washington Post
According to the Republican nominee for president, his opponents were "on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history." In an ad, his campaign warned of "nationwide voter fraud" that could swing the election. His running mate worried, in a fundraising letter, that "leftist groups" were trying to "steal the election."
