Hillary Clinton has a piece of advice for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden: Whatever happens, do not concede defeat on the night of the Nov. 3 election. Clinton, a Democrat, lost the 2016 presidential election to President Donald Trump, a Republican whose re-election bid is facing a stiff challenge from Biden, who has been leading Trump in public opinion polls. But in that case, Clinton said, "Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out." Trump has without citing evidence criticized mail voting as rife with fraud, although he has requested a mail ballot for his own use in this year`s election. Trump, who is due on Thursday to formally accept his party`s nomination for the election, has also criticized mail voting because it might slow down vote counting.
