Trump wants you to help prevent a rigged election
Donald Trump is imploring fans to get to the polls on Election Day — to keep an eye on other voters.
“Help me stop Crooked Hillary from rigging this election!” he urged followers in a new page on the Trump-Pence campaign site.
Those who sign up receive an e-mail from the campaign promising, “We are going to do everything we are legally allowed to do” to keep the vote on the up-and-up.
The effort to recruit poll watchers began Friday after the GOP nominee warned of Democratic vote tampering, telling a Pennsylvania rally, “The only way they can beat [us] . . . is if in certain sections of the state they cheat.”
Trump’s effort drew heated backlash from opponents on social media, who saw it as an attempt at voter suppression.
