President Trump said Saturday that his team will challenge the results of the count in Wisconsin, followed by President-elect Joe Biden with more than 100 votes in Milwaukee County.
Despite federal appeals judges ruling there on Friday, Trump accused Pennsylvania of electoral fraud, claiming that Trump’s 2020 campaign claims in that state “have no merit.”
The president tweeted on Saturday that “Wisconsin’s count is not about finding errors in the count, it’s about finding people who voted illegally, and the case will be brought up on Monday or Tuesday after the count is completed,” the president tweeted on Saturday. “We’ve found out. Lots of illegal votes. Stay connected!”
