He and his surrogates have spearheaded various changes to the claim over the past few days, boosting their rhetoric as Democratic candidate Joe Biden approaches victory.
First facts: Trump has claims Absolutely wrong. U.S. Nowhere is there any news of systematic irregularities with polling observers. There is no evidence to support the President’s claim that the G.O.P. Polling observers were left out of the process, and Trump’s campaign still does not support this widespread claim in court.
CNN has reporters from across the country following the developments at polling stations and the ongoing voting process on election day, and nothing like Trump’s allegations.
Here is a breakdown of what happened in the key states.
Arizona
CNN visited four polling stations in Phoenix during the early period of the polls and saw Republican and Democratic observers in all of them. On election day, CNN spotted accredited poll observers with clipboards at GOP G city, Surprise City, as well as heavily Latino and Tolison City blue-leaning polling stations.
Blue-leaning Pima County Arizona G.O.P. The chairman of the party, David Epiheimer, said his party had about 300 observers at polling stations and polling stations on election day. “Things got a lot easier,” he said on Friday.
Georgia
Late Thursday night election workers in Clayton County ended the counting of a very baden-friendly batch of absentee ballots, there were almost as many GOP observers in the room as election workers, according to CNN reporters who were in the room during the vote count. .
In addition, Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s voting system enforcement manager, told a news conference Friday that the state was “not seeing any widespread malpractice.”
Michigan
There were at least 256 Democratic poll challengers and 225 Republican poll challengers at the TCF Center in Detroit on Wednesday while election officials counted the last absentee ballots, officials told CNN. There were so many vote challenges from both parties that officials were concerned about the crowd.
CNN predicted Wednesday that Biden would win Michigan.
Pennsylvania
After lagging behind in the state for a whole week due to the slow vote count, Biden took the lead on Friday.
Trump campaign lawyers claimed in the lawsuit that G.O.P. Polling observers were not allowed to watch the vote count in Philadelphia or were not close to election workers in the room.
Wisconsin
There were poll observers from both parties who visited CNN at multiple polling stations Tuesday in Wisconsin.
CNN predicted Wednesday that Biden would beat Wisconsin.
