Donald Trump is once again laying the groundwork to dispute the election results if he loses, employing tactics reminiscent of his 2020 campaign by claiming the election is 'rigged' against him. He has accused the Democratic Party of corruption and alleged widespread election fraud, including issues with mail-in ballots and noncitizen voting. Trump has also attacked Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting economic collapse if she wins, and falsely claimed that the only way she could win is through cheating. Meanwhile, Democrats are preparing to counteract any premature victory claims by Trump, emphasizing the need for patience as votes are counted. Despite the charged rhetoric, election officials assure that most voters will experience a smooth voting process. The election is being closely watched, with experts noting the potential for misinformation to shape public perception, reminiscent of Trump's 2020 election loss claims.
