Former President Donald Trump has increasingly been warning that if he loses, it will be because of cheating.

Trump 's pronouncements that he may not accept the election results aren’t new; it’s the frequency that has increased.

An NBC News analysis found that at his last 20 rallies, Trump mentioned Democrats ’ likelihood of cheating at 14 of those events.

Trump 's running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio , and his billionaire ally Elon Musk have sowed similarly misleading claims about voter fraud.

So far, Trump ’s campaign has not been able to identify evidence that the 2024 election would not be free and fair, including when asked for comment for this article.

Trump has had similar mixed messaging on early voting.
