In an interview with Fox News on Election Day, Donald Trump claimed he'd heard reports of voting fraud happening at "various places." "There are reports that, when people vote for Republicans, the entire ticket switches over to Democrats. You've seen that. It's happening at various places today. It's been reported," Trump said. He explained that when people put down their vote for a Republican, the machine instead allegedly registered the vote as for a Democrat.
Trump insisted he wasn't implying that he wouldn't accept the results of the election should they become clear Tuesday night, but rather that he'll just "have to look at what's happening" and "reports that are coming out."
