Trump claims election 'rigged at polling places'

Washington 17 Oct (ANA) - US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has said the election is "absolutely rigged" by the "dishonest media" and "at many polling places". His comments appear to contradict his running mate Mike Pence, who told NBC earlier Mr Trump would "absolutely" accept the election result, despite media "bias". Mr Trump's adviser Rudy Giuliani has also accused Democrats of "cheating". Polls suggest Mr Trump is losing ground in some of the key battleground states. Meanwhile Hillary Clinton's running mate Tim Kaine has blasted Mr Trump's election-rigging claims as "scare tactics". Mr Trump has questioned the legitimacy of the election process in a series of tweets, the latest of which said: "The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary - but also at many polling places - SAD". Earlier, Mr Trump accused the press of inaccurate reporting: "Election is being rigged by the media, in a coordinated effort with the Clinton campaign, by putting stories that never happened into news!"
