It’s still exciting in the United States: Not all the votes have been counted yet when the current Trump declares himself the winner of the presidential election and provokes a conflict. Now both parties are legally positioning themselves.

There is a threat of legal tug of war in the US presidential election: Democratic challenger Joe Biden’s team has dismissed incumbent Donald Trump’s remarks about a possible disruption of the vote count as “scandalous” and “unprecedented.” Biden’s legal experts, however, are prepared for a legal dispute, according to a statement from Biden’s campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon.

Trump had announced that he wanted the country’s Supreme Court to stop another vote count. “Never before in our history has a president of the United States attempted to steal the vote of Americans in a national election,” said O’Malley Dillon. There are several teams of legal experts ready to fight a possible Trump move. “And they will prevail.”

Trump: “Deceive the nation”

In his speech at the White House, Trump claimed the electoral victory for himself. At the same time, he spoke of an alleged “fraud against the nation” in the elections and added: “We will go to the Supreme Court. We want the entire vote to end.”

Presumably, Trump was referring to the ongoing counting of numerous votes by mail. “We don’t want them to look for ballots at four in the morning and add them to the list.” According to experts, the majority of postal voters should have voted for Biden.

Experts vehemently disagree

In some states, including particularly competitive Pennsylvania, Election Day postmarked postal votes are accepted even if they are received by authorities a few days after the election. In recent months, Trump has repeatedly denounced suspected vote-by-mail fraud, although experts and officials disagree.

According to the US media, the two candidates each won several states in the elections. The outcome in several key states and thus the overall outcome is still unclear.
