Independent :
Donald Trump has suggested the US Presidential election should be cancelled and called in his favour as polls continue to predict victory for Hillary Clinton.
Speaking just 11 days before the vote, the Republican candidate attacked his rival’s policies at a rally in Ohio on Thursday. Criticising Mrs Clinton’s proposals on business taxes, he told supporters in Toledo: “In just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump, right?
“Why are we even having it for? What are we having it for? Her policies are so bad. Boy, do we have a big difference.” Mr Trump’s tongue-in-cheek comments came after he made repeated suggestions the election is rigged against him.
Earlier on Thursday, he posted a tweet on concerns about “vote flipping” in Texas, asking: “What is going on?”
The problem, which appears to be linked to old voting machines, has been reported during early voting and causes the wrong candidate to be selected by touchscreens.
Analysts say the fault appears to be accidental rather than the result of any deliberate plot and can be easily rectified, as voters see the error as it occurs.
