Why do political candidates in USA say...IF i lose its rigged?

Can they not accept losing...? What happens when both candidates say..if i lose its rigged? Or or or they come with this new one... I am not going to accept the votes if i lose? WTF

Are these people that spoiled and entitled feeling? Its really like bothersome then again its could be to just keep the doubt in the voting system in this country

Generally speaking, they don't say that. Or at least, they didn't used to. Prior to the 2016 election it was generally accepted that our elections were legitimate. There was a debate (which is still ongoing) about things like gerrymandering and disenfranchisement, but when it came to the votes themselves, it was agreed by both sides that they were legal and sound, with neither missing nor extra votes. The closest thing to any kind of believe in illegal or fake ballots in any significant numbers was the 2000 election, where it was thought that in one district the ballots were unintentionally confusing, and that voters might have made errors completing them and/or counters might be misinterpreting them. There were certainly no claims of nationwide fraud.

@OggggO Like that one district would have made any difference. I do remember it was this big scandal.

@Punches It actually would have, though, which is why it was such a fuss.

@OggggO I can see it now, someday history books will claim that Al Gore won the 2000 and Trump won the 2020.
