SAN FRANCISCO, November 15, (THEWILL) – President Donald Trump on Monday again faulted the credibility of the United States Presidential Election and the “Fake News Media” for projecting victory for Joe Biden.
“I won the election”, Trump declared in an all-caps tweet on Monday morning.
“..perhaps, like never before, From large numbers of Poll Watchers that were thrown out of vote counting rooms in many of our States by, to millions of ballots that have been altered by Democrats, only for Democrats, to voting after the Election was over, to using Radical Left
“Why the Fake News Media continuously assume that Joe Biden will ascend to the Presidency, not even allowing our side to show, which we are just getting ready to do, how badly shattered and violated our great constitution has been in the 2020 Election. It was attacked”, Trump said in Monday tweets.
Twitter responded moments later by tagging the tweet with a link that says ‘official sources call this election differently’.
Trump’s tweet was a continuation of his Twitter rants since Sunday, when he first acknowledged Joe Biden was the winner of the election. Then simultaneously, he claimed the victory was because the election was rigged.
He then later tweeted that he was not going to concede as he planned to file ‘big cases’ soon.
He continued the theme of election rigging in three other tweets flagged by Twitter as ‘disputed claims’.
Meanwhile, the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania on Sunday dropped a major part of a lawsuit it brought seeking to halt Pennsylvania from certifying its results in the presidential election. It has now narrowed the case to a small number of ballots.
In an amended complaint filed in federal court, the Trump campaign dropped a claim that election officials unlawfully blocked observers from watching the counting of mail-in ballots in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
The pared-down lawsuit now focuses on a claim that Democratic-leaning counties unlawfully allowed voters to fix errors in their mail-in ballots in violation of state law.
Officials have said the dispute affects a small number of ballots in the state, where Democrat Joe Biden is projected to win by more than 60,000 votes.
Pennsylvania officials have asked a judge to dismiss Trump’s lawsuit, saying the election observers were allowed to assess the processing of mail-in ballots. The officials also said the state’s counties were permitted to inform residents if their mailed-in ballots were deficient, even if it was not mandatory for them to do so.
In Pennsylvania’s populous Montgomery County, some voters fixed ballots with technical errors, a county official testified at a court hearing on Nov. 4.
