But state authorities have debunked that claim, with the local district attorney challenging Trump to provide some evidence.
"The only talk about massive cheating has come from one of the candidates, Donald J. Trump," Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said.
"There is no factual basis whatsoever within law enforcement to support this wild allegation.
"We have invited complaints and allegations of improprieties all day. If Donald J. Trump has any facts to support his wild allegations, we want them now. Right now. We are not holding our breath."

Republican Philadelphia Commissioner Seth Bluestein, the most senior elected official in the city, also denied Trump's claims.
"There is absolutely no truth to this allegation," he said.
"It is yet another example of disinformation.
"Voting in Philadelphia has been safe and secure."
Pennsylvania, with 19 Electoral College votes, is the largest of the seven battleground states that are expected to decide the election.
