Former US President and Republican candidate, Donald Trump said he would be prepared to concede defeat after Tuesday’s vote if the election was fair.
Trump stated this even as he once again 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,” he said.
He reiterated his previous criticism of electronic voting machines, suggesting they were less secure than paper ballots and would delay the outcome being known.
“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.
“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,” he added.
