Donald Trump ratcheted up his rhetoric about the general election being rigged, saying in an interview on "The O’Reilly Factor" on Tuesday that he is concerned people are going to “vote 10 times” without voter ID.

“You don’t have to have voter ID to now go in and vote, and it’s a little bit scary, and I’ve heard a lot of bad things,” Trump said to Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. “I mean, people are going to walk in, they are going to vote 10 times maybe.”


In recent rallies, Trump has been saying the election is “rigged” against him, blaming the media and the “crooked system” of United States elections. During the primary season, he complained that Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton had gamed the system to defeat Bernie Sanders, and his recent comments contain more than a whiff of suggestions that Clinton is plotting to beat him the same way.

“I hope the Republicans are going to be very watchful, and I hope the authorities are going to be very watchful,” Trump said during the interview.

Trump also attacked politicians on both sides of the aisle during the interview, claiming he knows more about foreign policy than President Barack Obama and slamming Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for not “grabbing” veterans issues.
