Donald Trump said the US electoral system is under "coordinated assault" in a live stream posted on his Facebook page.[/caption]
Trump claimed that the outcome of the election was pre-determined.
He said: "For months leading up to the presidential election, we were warned that we should not declare a premature victory. We were told repeatedly that it would take weeks - if not months - to determine a winner, to count the absentee ballots and to verify the results.
"My opponent was told to stay away from the election, don't campaign, we don't need you, we've got it, this election is done. In fact, they were acting like they already knew what the outcome was going to be. They had it covered. And perhaps they did, very sadly for our country."
In the wake of Trump's defeat to Biden, his campaign team launched a series of legal challenges against numerous states it claimed engaged in illegal electoral practices.
None of these claims have ever been substantiated.
In certain states, Trump demanded a recount, even going so far as to spend three million dollars of his own money on one in Wisconsin.
This backfired spectacularly, as more Biden votes were uncovered.
Trump's words will likely be seen as incendiary in the US. An election official in Georgia made headlines yesterday after stating Trump was "inciting violence" with his rhetoric.
Gabriel Sterling - himself a lifelong conservative - said: "It's all gone too far. It has to stop!"Explore more on these topics:
