Donald Trump has questioned the integrity of the US midterm elections held last week, specifically the results of early voting and the use of voting machines on which voters register their choices without using paper ballots.

In a post on Truth Social on Monday, the US president also questioned “how the polls got it so wrong”.

He further insisted that “it all has to do with the voting machines, which are much more important than the voters”.

In his post, the US president wrote:

“Does anybody really believe these ‘Elections’ were fair. How did the Polls get it so wrong???

“Certain Early Voting entries were so large that it was impossible for anyone to win, no matter how many people went out to vote.

“It all has to do with the machines, which are far more important than the voter!”
