Trump Repeats Assertion November Election Could Be "Rigged"
-----------------------------------------------------------

Donald Trump has continued to suggest he believes the November election
may be "rigged." Pointing to recent court decisions against restrictive
voter ID laws in North Carolina and Wisconsin, Trump said Tuesday that
the decisions increased the possibility of voter fraud. Trump said, "The
voter ID situation has turned out to be a very unfair development. We
may have people vote 10 times." Studies of voter fraud in the U.S. have
concluded the type of fraud Trump warned about is extremely rare. This
comes after Republican political operative and Trump supporter Roger
Stone warned of a "bloodbath" if Trump doesn't win in November. Speaking
with Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos, Stone said, "We will have a
constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government
will no longer be the government. It will be a bloodbath."
