The Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, on Wednesday refused to commit to accepting the result of the US election if he loses.
Trump made his position known in a fiery third and final presidential debate in which Hillary Clinton accused him of being a “puppet” of Russian President, Vladimir Putin.
Trump alleged that Clinton was colluding with the media to rig the election, with a follow up question on whether he would respect the result of the election.
He said: “I will tell you at the time.
“I’ll keep you in suspense.
Trump equally faulted the voter register for the poll.
“If you look at your voter rolls, you will see millions of people who are registered to vote” who shouldn’t be registered, Trump said.
He said not only was there widespread corruption, but that Clinton “should not be allowed to run.”
He said: “It is crooked.
“She is guilty of a very, very serious crime.
“She should not be allowed to run and just in that respect, I say it is rigged.”
Clinton described Trumps’ statement as “horrifying”.
She said it amounted to Trump “talking down our democracy”.
She added: “Every time Donald thinks things are not going in his direction, he claims whatever it is, it is rigged against him.
“The FBI conducted a yearlong investigation into my emails that concluded there was no case.”
