Former Attorney General Eric Holder said the only way President Donald Trump can win reelection is if Republicans cheat for him to win, according to the Washington Examiner.
"[Trump] is trying to come up with a way in which he's going to be able to say that the election was stolen from him, that there was cheating or something like that," Holder told SiriusXM radio host Joe Madison on Tuesday. "The reality is, if you look at all the empirical evidence, if you look at the polls, the only way that I think that Trump is going to win is if the Republicans are successful in cheating."
Holder said Republicans are also coming up with ways to "influence" the election. He said in Texas, four Republicans tried to throw out nearly 127,000 ballots from a Democrat-heavy county before a judge Monday dismissed the attempt.
"They're prepared to do a whole bunch of things on a whole bunch of fronts," Holder said. "[Republicans] don't want to have an election that's truly fair. And that truly represents the desires of the people for change. That is what I hear as I have been all around the country."
