With early voting fast approaching, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has intensified his rhetoric, pledging to prosecute anyone who 'cheats' in the election, reminiscent of his disputed claims of winning the 2020 election.

Addressing police officers, Trump instructed them to watch for voter fraud, a move with questionable legal standing.

Despite the absence of evidence, Trump alleges his 2020 loss was due to Democratic fraud and vows to ensure this year's election is free from such actions, promising severe legal actions against any perceived culprits.
