…Votes, does interviews and tweets on election day
Republican Presidential Candidate,
Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit in Clark County, where Las Vegas is
located, claiming that early voting was unfairly extended.
“Let me tell you, if I don’t win I will
consider it a tremendous waste of time, energy and money,” Trump told
Fox & Friends early Tuesday. The New York businessman later cast his
vote at a school in Manhattan, joking with reporters: “Tough decision.”
Asked if he would concede the election
should he lose, Trump responded, “We’ll see what happens.” Some voters
at Trump’s polling place cheered his presence; others booed and yelled
“phony” at the Republican candidate.
“I’m very excited,” he told reporters.
“It’s a great opportunity. There’s tremendous enthusiasm you see it all
over the country, all over the world. It’s a great feeling.” While
pre-election surveys gave an edge to Democratic rival Hillary Clinton,
Trump told Fox News “I think a lot of the polls are phony,” and
predicted victory.
Trump, who at one point considered more
campaigning on Election Day, planned to stay out sight most of Tuesday,
making calls, conducting interviews, and using social media. A round of
radio and television show call-ins is also on the schedule, aides said,
as is a private reception at Trump Tower for friends and supporters.
In a last-day fundraising solicitation,
Trump told supporters, “I’ll be on calls with our political director all
day, determining which states need last-minute resources.”
Trump’s day ends with what aides are
billing as a “victory party” at a Midtown hotel. Throughout the final
weeks of the campaign, Trump warned about the prospect of a “rigged”
election based on alleged voter fraud and biased news coverage. The
Republican nominee has consistently declined to say whether he would
honor the results of the election if he loses.
