WEST PALM BEACH, FL – Former President Donald Trump plans to spend election day near his Florida home in West Palm Beach. We sent a crew to cover Trump on Election Day.
We expect Trump to cast his ballot at a local recreation center and then take part in an election watch part at the convention center nearby. Some of the roads nearby his Mar a Lago home will be closed in preparation for Election Day.
Before the big day, Trump is wrapping up a whirlwind battleground blitz. At one rally on Sunday in Pennsylvania, we were told he was going to focus on issues relating to the economy but his nearly two-hour long speech maybe mentioned the economy for a few minutes. A good portion of his speech, which he claims he wasn’t using a teleprompter for, focused on this election’s integrity and casted some doubt about voting machines.
“You know that paper ballots, paper is very sophisticated it’s called watermarked,” said Trump during the rally. “Watermarked highly sophisticated. It’s more sophisticated than the machines they use which can be hacked and things can happen.”
Trump then later focused about how long the results can take for some states, “These elections they have to be decided by 9 o’clock, ten o’clock, eleven o’clock on Tuesday night,” said Trump. “Bunch of crooked people these are crooked people.”
Political scientists said some states take longer to finalize their votes, especially if it’s a close race. It might take more than just a day to verify the results.
We will break down the latest from the Trump campaign watch party Tuesday night as the results start coming in.
