The president of the United States, Donald Trump, stated this Tuesday that he will accept without objections the result of the legislative elections on November 3 as long as the cleanliness of the process is demonstrated.
"I will do it if they are honest," declared the American president before embarking on a new campaign rally in Lubbock (Texas).
With these words, Trump again resorts to his usual tactic of sowing doubts about the electoral system as a way to shield himself against a possible setback at the polls.
In this context, polls predict that the Republican Party could lose control of the House of Representatives, while the Senate, which until the beginning of the Iran war was a solid Republican stronghold, is now in a situation of strong competition between both parties.
Last Monday, Trump even offered a reward of one million dollars to anyone who reported a case of electoral fraud, both in previous elections and in the upcoming midterm elections, as long as that report led to a judicial conviction.
At the same time, the president has promoted the SAVE America Act, whose goal is to reduce the risk of fraud by requiring mandatory identification to vote, accompanied by proof of citizenship. The House of Representatives greenlit this initiative at the beginning of the year, but the proposal has repeatedly crashed in the Senate.
