Biden Says Trump Is Trying to ‘Scare’ Voters
During the first presidential debate on Tuesday, President Trump and Joseph R. Biden Jr. sparred over the integrity of the election and mail-in ballots.
“This is all about trying to dissuade people from voting because he’s trying to scare people into thinking that it’s not going to be legitimate. Show up and vote. You will determine the outcome of this election. Vote, vote, vote. And in terms of whether or not, when the votes are counted and they’re all counted, that will be accepted. If I win, that will be accepted. If I lose, that will be accepted. But by the way, if in fact he says he’s not sure what he’s going to accept, well let me tell you something, it doesn’t matter because if we get the votes, it’s going to be all over. He’s going to go. He can’t stay in power. It won’t happen.” “As far as the ballots are concerned, it’s a disaster. A solicited ballot — OK, solicited is OK. You’re soliciting, you’re asking. They send it back. You send it back. I did that. If you have an unsolicited — they’re sending millions of ballots all over the country. There’s fraud. They found them in creeks. They found some with the name Trump — just happened to have the name Trump — just the other day in a wastepaper basket. They’re being sent all over the place. They sent two in a Democrat area. They sent out 1,000 ballots — everybody got two ballots. This is going to be a fraud like you’ve never seen. I hope it’s going to be a fair election. If it’s a fair election, I am 100 percent on board. But if I see tens of thousands of ballots being manipulated, I can’t go along with that.” “The fact is I will accept it, and he will too you know why? Because once the winner is declared after all the ballots are counted, all the votes are counted, that will be the end of it.”
