Donald Trump traveled to Green Bay Monday to continue his campaign with a rally at the KI Convention Center, lashing out at what he claimed to be large-scale voter fraud.
With a poll from FiveThirtyEight suggesting that Trump has less than a 10 percent chance of winning Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes, Trump attempted to rally his fervent supporters to go and campaign on his behalf.
The business mogul arrived on the stage shortly after 6:30 p.m. and immediately declared he would win the Badger State on Election Day.
“In 22 days, we are going to win the state of Wisconsin. We will take back the White House,” Trump said as he opened his speech to cheers of “USA” and “Trump.”
While initially touching on promises to significantly lower taxes and raise wages, Trump then turned his focus to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
“This is worse than Watergate. And what does she get out of it? She gets to run for the President of the United States,” Trump said regarding Clinton’s email scandal.
Trump also accused the press of being too biased and liberal, saying Clinton received several questions for the recent debates in advance. He called Clinton’s association with the press and her relationships with foreign politicians and powerful business owners into question before tackling the issue of voter fraud.
“So many cities are corrupt,” Trump said in reference to voter fraud.
He cited a 2012 Pew report stating that 1.8 million deceased voters are still registered to vote, although the study doesn’t link this statistic with voter fraud. Trump maintained that this, combined with large numbers of non-citizen voters, could contribute to his unjust electoral downfall.
“We don’t want non-citizen votes,” Trump said.
Toward the end of his speech, he promised the audience that, when elected, he will pass campaign finance reform that will not allow foreign interests to invest in U.S. political campaigns. Trump also assured his supporters that he would keep U.S. companies within the country and stressed the importance of creating jobs.
“We are going to make America strong again. We are going to make America safe again. We are going to make America great again,” Trump said as he ended the rally.
Trump will continue to campaign in Colorado tomorrow before the third and final presidential debate this Wednesday, Oct. 19.
