US President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, reiterated unfounded claims of voter fraud in Democrat-controlled “big cities” on Thursday. Giuliani told a press conference that several acts of electoral fraud were committed in the presidential elections, particularly targeting large cities with “a long history of corruption.”
Giuliani said Trump was leading in Pennsylvania by more than 700,000 votes and that it was statistically impossible to lose the state after that point. He claimed that there are statisticians willing to testify for it, however, he added that it was just speculation. He went on to claim that Philadelphia has cheated in almost every election in the last 60 years.
Georgia’s election officials hope to release a report on a manual recount of the presidential race, but Guiliani said the recount will say nothing. “The recount in Georgia will tell us nothing because these fraudulent ballots will simply be counted again,” Guiliani said, without providing any concrete evidence of voter fraud. He argued that Trump would have won if they pulled all the votes from the blue areas in Wisconsin that overwhelmingly voted for Biden.

The pieces are fitting very well into place, ”Trump tweeted. The outgoing US president has been reluctant to admit defeat, which has delayed the transition.
Meanwhile, President-elect Joe Biden has assembled a transition team, responsible for ensuring a smooth transfer of power. The transition team will select staff to serve under the Biden-Harris administration, determine policy implementation steps, and develop management agendas for federal agencies.
