Florida: Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday caste his vote in Florida on the election day as America decides its nec=xt President today. Trump was accompanied by wife Melania. Speaking to media after casting vote, Trump said that there is no pressure on him adding they will win the election.
Donald Trump further said that his supporters are not violent and if he loses, then would be the first person to accept the results.
“We want people to come and enjoy in our country but we cant allow criminals. I would like to tell republicans to stay online. I thank my team, they did a great job, if I loose the election then its fare, I will be the first one to accept. It’s a greatest moment for history of our country,” Trump said.
As voting is underway in United States, Bradley Henochstein, Chief Election Officer, Rosslyn Precinct said, “This is the first election where we had same-day registration… This is the highest turnout election since I have been a polling worker. We had quite a few early voters this year. Nearly 40% of this precinct voted early… We are expecting 80-90% turnout across the county but this precinct will have at least 1500-2000 voters today…”
Trumps says he feels very confident
Soon after casting his vote, Donald Trump said, “I feel very confident… I hear we’re doing very well everywhere.” He added that this was the “best” of the three campaigns he ran. “It won’t even be close,” Trump said. “But it’s gonna take a long time to certify.”
Trump continued to complain how long it would take to tally up the results given that “they spent all this money on machines,” citing the French election as an example of a quick election.
Trump has repeatedly used the long wait time in tallying mail-in ballots as a way to sow doubt in the integrity of the election.
Hardworking patriots going to save country, says Trump
On Monday, Trump rallied in Pennsylvania and said that “hardworking patriots” are going to save the country.
He further highlighted his vision for the country’s economic recovery and said that under his leadership, he will turn “economic nightmare into an economic miracle.”
Addressing the rally, Trump said, “Under my leadership, we are quickly going to turn this economic nightmare into an economic miracle. We will make America wealthy again, and we will make America affordable again. But you must vote! Four years, we have all waited for this and now it’s tomorrow. Tomorrow, it’s hard-working patriots like you who are going to save our country.”
