Trump criticizes early voting: 'What happens when those places are locked?
December 09, 2016
Even though he won the election last month, President-elect Donald Trump is still unsatisfied with the election process.
Talking to an audience in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while giving an endorsement speech for United States Senate candidate John Kennedy on Friday, Trump reverted to more of a "victory tour" tone, discussing his own recent win in the presidential election.
As he spoke to the crowd about his campaign experience, he took a swipe at the early voting system, referencing a long line he witnessed in Florida, a state he won.
"I passed a line and I said, 'what's happening over there?' I thought it was a big movie. They said, 'no, sir, that's voting. They're voting,' and they're voting like really early," Trump said.
"And we have to discuss that early thing. That's sort of — so many things are going on. So many things. Wonder what happens during the evening when those places are 'locked', right?" Trump used air quotes to signify he questioned whether the polling places were actually locked.
He did not give any indication he had a plan to change the current system, but he did mention he expected the Democrats to criticize him for bringing up the issue.
"But the Democrats or the people would say 'Donald Trump is criticizing the foundations of our country.' Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break," he told the crowd.
