The Republican Presidential Candidate in the Election of 2016, Donal;d Trump, when with only a few weeks to go before Election Day, and the polls indicated that he was substantially behind, began to give speeches like this one that included many statements that the Election was rigged against him. He presented no evidence at all, and even could not specify who was doing the rigging or how they were doing it. However, many of his followers, who tend to believe many political conspiracy theories, started to make plans for continual action after the election if Trump[ loses. For some unstable followers—all candidates for President have some—they were already planning methods of resisting if Hillary Clinton should win. To make matters worse Trump had encouraged his supporters to take extra legal action to prevent Hillary Clinton from destroying the country as they ave known it. He also announced that he would not necessarily accept the election results if Clinton won. He even threatened to have her jailed when he won the Presidency.
