US President Donald Trump, on Tuesday, responded to a question about whether he would accept the election results, whatever they were, stressing that he “would do so, if they were a fair election.” Trump has previously repeatedly questioned the integrity of the electoral process, and has sought, through the federal government, to impose more control over states’ oversight mechanisms for elections. Last week, the US President announced that he had directed the Department of Justice to file a pre-emptive lawsuit to challenge the certification of the results of the Senate elections in Alaska, in the event that the Republican senator who currently holds the seat loses.
