Trump claims ‘massive evidence’ of Pennsylvania voter fraud, ‘lots of illegal votes’ in Wisconsin


President Donald Trump has claimed that there was “huge evidence” of voter fraud in Pennsylvania and that “many illegal votes” were found in Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon.

The Trump campaign has filed numerous lawsuits in states that lost to President-elect Joe Biden in those elections, many of which have been canceled.

Trump spoke vaguely about what evidence he had and criticized those who rejected his challenges to the election results.

“Certain allegations were made in the case of Pennsylvania, and we have a lot of evidence. Some people just don’t want to see it. They don’t want to do anything to save our country. Sadly,” he tweeted.

According to the Associated Press, Biden defeated Trump by a margin of 81,660 votes, but during his tweets on Saturday, the president indicated that he was throwing far more challenges than he did. He also said he plans to appeal. “Fraud and illegality are a big part of this case. The documents are being finalized. We will appeal,” he wrote.

U.S. in Pennsylvania The Court of Appeals on Friday rejected Trump’s claim, using the same language as the way Trump later used it in his tweets. “The unjust charge is serious. But that doesn’t mean the election is unfair. The charge requires specific allegations and then evidence. We don’t have it here.” Expresses opinion.

Opinion also said the claims made in the Trump lawsuit were “vague and conclusive.” It also commented that the challenges could not overturn the election. The statement said, “The number of particularly challenging ballots is much less than the approximately 1,000,000-vote period of victory. And it can never claim fraud or any vote cast by illegal voters.”

In another tweet, Trump was referring to a recount in two Wisconsin counties where his campaign paid 3 3 million for a partial count in Dan and Milwaukee counties. As previously reported, Milwaukee County completed its count, increasing Biden’s lead by 132 votes. Dan County is expected to complete the count on Sunday.

Although the calculation slightly increased Biden’s lead, Trump’s tweet shows that he is not unscrupulous. He writes that it is not a matter of finding errors in the calculations, but of illegal votes. He said his team would present evidence of illegal voting on Monday or Tuesday, after the counting was completed.

Shortly after midnight on Saturday, Trump quoted Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Maestriano as tweeting a controversial claim about more mail-in ballots. Trump wrote that more than a million votes were “made in thin air.” He claimed he was indeed the winner in Keystone State. He tweeted, “Pennsylvania’s votes were overwhelming. All the other swing states too.”

The press contact for the Trump campaign did not respond NewsweekEmailed request to comment in time for publication.
