Trump is trying to stop the Pennsylvania vote count in the election

President Trump on Wednesday sought to prevent the counting of more than 1 million votes sent by mail to Pennsylvania in Tuesday’s election.

One of Trump’s extraordinary attacks on the voting system Widespread legal attack In the number of votes in a few toss-up states that determine the presidential election.

The Republican president was in Pennsylvania by 600,000 votes earlier today than he did earlier in the day, but by the end of the day The margin has shrunk For less than 140,000 votes.

Biden’s defeat of 77% to 22% of the postal vote counted on Wednesday put the former vice president on track to completely wipe out Trump’s presence by the end of the remaining 763,000 postal votes. Most of the districts that Trump lost in 2016 were cast. Mail votes take extra time to process and count, so the eligibility of each voter can be verified.

On Wednesday afternoon, while election officials in 67 districts of the state were working around the clock counting ballots, Trump went ahead and lied. He declared victory Pennsylvania.

Trump has been accused of fraud, but there is no evidence. His attempt to stop the number when several courts weighed in on his grievances provoked strong condemnation from the Pennsylvania government Tom Wolf.

“These attempts to undermine the democratic process are disgraceful,” Wolf said.

Democrat Wolf, of Pennsylvania, “will fight every attempt to get voters to vote and continue to hold free, fair elections. Our election officials at the state and local levels must be free to do their jobs without intimidation or attacks. ”

The president’s son and daughter-in-law Eric and Laura Trump were also expected to attend, but dozens of anti-Trump protesters who had been removed from the scene by police drove them to move their event to the airport.

Giuliani stamped the city’s vote count, which is overseen by a two-party commission, a “concerted effort by fraudsters to run the Democratic Party.”

The former New York City mayor reiterated Trump’s false claim that the president had won Pennsylvania, but at the time gave no indication of how he knew the more than 1 million votes had not yet been counted.

He said Trump has been filing at least three lawsuits to challenge the campaign counting system.

“We will not let it go,” Giuliani said. “They are not going to steal this election.”

Pam Pandey, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, condemned Republican Deputy Election Commissioner Seth Bluestine for enforcing rules that would require Trump and Biden to stay behind the ballot observers during the vote count.

“He wears a baseball size badge,” he said. “As far as I know, he’s not an incumbent law enforcement officer, so this sounds like intimidation to me.”

Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State, Democrat Kathy Bougainville, said the turnout was “remarkably smooth” as thousands of district officials processed about 2.6 million postal votes – 10 times the number recorded in Pennsylvania four years ago.

“I urge everyone to be patient,” he said.

In 2016, Trump defeated Pennsylvania by a margin of 44,284 votes to nearly 6.2 million.

Booger accused Trump’s deputy campaign manager, Justin Clark, of colluding with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to try to shoot Joe Biden in the back door of victory with a late, illegal vote. Bouquet denied the allegations, saying his aim was to ensure that every valid ballot was counted.

In a ruling upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, the state Supreme Court ruled that postal votes with postmarks or illegal postage stamps must be counted by November 3 if received by district election offices by the end of Friday.

The Trump campaign and Republican allies in the state legislature have overturned that ruling in the U.S. Supreme Court, demanding that any postal ballot received before Tuesday’s election be declared invalid.
