While thousands of people throughout the
United States
came out to celebrate the triumph of Democrat Joe Biden in the presidential elections, after the media confirmed it, current President Donald Trump refused to acknowledge these data and announced that he will go to court to ensure the legality of the count and report suspected
"fraud."
These elections "are far from over," Trump said in a message published by his campaign.
He added that "it is the legal votes that decide the president, not the media," and announced on Monday the start of
a legal offensive to guarantee "that the true winner" takes office.
"The American people have the right to honest elections: that means counting legal votes and not counting illegal votes. It is the only way for the people to place their full confidence in the elections," the president said in his campaign statement. .
The Republican tycoon again assured that part of the voting in some states, such as Pennsylvania, which was crucial in Biden's victory, was carried out without the presence of observers from the Republican Party.
But the observation was rejected by the authorities of this state.

"I will not rest until the American people have the recount they deserve and deserve what democracy demands," concluded the text by Trump, who on Saturday had left the White House for the first time since Tuesday's elections to go to play golf at your exclusive club in Virginia.
Shortly before,
Trump had again called for a "recount to be stopped" in the decisive states in the
face of "tens of thousands of illegally received votes."
"Tens of thousands of votes were illegally received after 8 pm on Tuesday, Election Day, totally and easily changing the results in Pennsylvania and some other states," the president tweeted.

"Hundreds of thousands of votes were illegally not allowed to be observed. This would also change the outcome of elections in many states, including Pennsylvania," the Republican launched on his favorite social network.
But on Friday, a judge rejected a request from the Republican Party to modify the vote count in Nevada, a setback that adds to those of the ruling party in Georgia and Michigan, while the Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied the request to stop the vote count. .
At the same time, the United States Federal Election Commission had insisted that there was no evidence of the president's accusations.
"There is no evidence of voting fraud, nor is there evidence that illegal votes have been cast," said Election Commissioner Ellen Weintraub of the Democratic Party.
