Joe Biden says he worries President Donald Trump will try to 'steal' the US election

Joe Biden says his biggest worry is that US President Donald Trump will attempt to “steal” the November election, and the Democratic challenger says he has even considered the possibility that Mr Trump will refuse to leave the White House should he lose.

“My single greatest concern: This President’s going to try and steal this election,” Mr Biden told The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

“This is a guy who said all mail-in ballots are fraudulent, voting by mail, while he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office and writes his mail-in ballot to vote in the primary.”

Mr Biden was asked whether he had considered what would happen if Mr Trump refused to vacate the White House in the event he wasn’t re-elected.

“I have,” the former vice-president said, before suggesting that the military could step in to ensure a peaceful transition of power.

“I am absolutely convinced they will escort him from the White House with great dispatch.”

In This Story: Vote

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.

In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
