This is a fraud on the american public. This is an embarrassment to our country. I have no bitterness, no rancor at all. I say to the president as a thorough politician that he did a wonderful job. We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election. We did win this election. I have lost. Mr. Nixon has won. The Democratic Process has worked its will, so now lets get on with the urgent path of uniting our country. And this is a very big moment. This is a major fraud on our nation.
