"stealing the election" from him

if you count the illegal votes, they can steal the election from us, ”

In particular, questioning the postal vote, which he said would have allowed
“massive fraud”
, Donald Trump contested the results, and promised that the case would end before
“the highest court in the country”.
“We were winning overwhelmingly in all the major ridings when our scores mysteriously started to catch up,”
he explained.
"This postal vote, which I have been talking about for a long time, is destroying our system,"
he added
.
"In North Carolina, we were winning, but our lead was reduced because they found mail-order ballots: unbelievable the number of votes in favor of Democrats appearing!"
"Democratic officials never believed they could win this election on a regular basis,"
the president continued.
“That's why they used these mail-order bulletins and this gigantic fraud.
That's why they sent tens of millions of newsletters to people who didn't ask for them… It's unprecedented in American history.
They refused all requests to verify signatures, or to verify that voters had the right to vote ”.
There will be many appeals, and it will undoubtedly end in the highest court in the country.

Trump assured that he had
"multiple examples of the Democrats' corrupt electoral machine… In Pennsylvania they allowed ballots to be sent out three days after the election… We were denied access to the counts in many key states. , where the election night results were kept under wraps for hours, and ballots appeared with Biden's name on it, which is a little odd.
“I challenge Joe and the Democrats to clarify all of these votes.
We want all legal votes to be counted.
We want transparency, not mysterious ballots cast after election day ”.
The President of the United States has finally announced his intention to take the case to the judges, citing the Supreme Court.
"We think we are going to win this election,"
Trump concluded,
"there will be many appeals, and it will undoubtedly end in the highest court in the land."
“We can't let this go for the United States: the question is not who won, the Republicans or the Democrats, Joe or me.
There will be a legal procedure, he says he won some states, I won others, but in the end the judges will have to decide. ”
Live: LIVE - US Presidential: Trump and Biden still neck and neck in election that makes suspense go on
The count should be completed in the coming hours in the states still in the balance: Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, where the ballot could be played.
The two opponents are still neck and neck, with an advantage for Joe Biden.
It appears difficult for Trump to be able to prevent the proclamation of the winner once the recounts are completed.
But by sowing doubt on the regularity of the ballot, the American president takes the risk of seeing part of the Republican electorate consider his possible defeat as the result of a fraud.
It also aggravates a little more the political climate in which the transfer of power will take place in the event of Joe Biden's victory.
