Trump returned with a string of undocumented allegations of voter fraud in his speech Friday night. People who support the president have gathered outside of polling stations in various states.

– There is enormous corruption in several states and fraud with the vote by mail. I said this was going to happen, said Donald Trump.

They demonstrate against the vote-by-mail vote counting and demand that the count stop. There is no evidence of electoral fraud.

A member of the far-right group Boogaloo Bois was seen with a semi-automatic weapon during a demonstration in Phoenix, Arizona, according to Reuters.

Boogaloo Bois is linked to an attempt to kidnap Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Police have just detained an armed group that was going to attack the counting facility in Philadelphia, reports NTB.

The party wrote on Twitter that its lawyers sent a call to the Justice Department to set up an investigation into what they believe to be voter fraud in Nevada.
