Hillary Clinton urges Biden not to concede in close election
"Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out and, eventually, I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side," Clinton said in an interview with Showtime's "The Circus."
Clinton, who won almost three million more votes than Trump overall in 2016 but lost to him in the state-by-state electoral college count, suggested that the Republicans are hoping to get the result they want through in-person voting on the day -- and not necessarily wait for any delayed mail-in ballots to be counted.
Her comments follow warnings from both sides that the result of the election may not be known on the evening of November 3.
Republicans "have a couple of scenarios that they are looking toward. One is messing up absentee balloting," she said.
"They believe that helps them so that they then get maybe a narrow advantage in the electoral college on election day," Clinton said.
She called for Democrats to mount a "massive legal operation."
"We have to have our own teams of people to counter the force of intimidation that the Republicans and Trump are going to put outside polling places," she said.
Republicans have reacted by saying the Dems are undermining an eventual Trump win in advance and will reject a Trump win as crooked.
They say the same about Dem complaints about the Post Office and Trump's refusal to give it money.
