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

It's not a perfect system and it can be toyed with and has in the past. Certain people were prevented from voting, others were intimidated to vote a certain way and sometimes they could redraw district lines so they would win the vote even though they got less votes overall. It isn't out of the realm to think it can happen. There are things in place to prevent a lot of it now but that doesn't mean people can't find other means of fixing a vote.

@midnightrose I suppose its silly to think someone would say, I think it's rigged, but it's better to accept a rigged election and try to fix it then to shut down the kitchen over spilled milk.

Arguably, that's what Gore, Abramson, and maybe even Trump eventually did, sort of, but they all went to different degrees before they moved on.
