Donald Trump has repeated his allegations of voter fraud without providing evidence to support his claims, tweeting that “bad things happened” inside the tallying rooms.
In a series of tweets, the US president said “legal transparency was not brutally and crudely allowed” in some places in key states, including Pennsylvania, where Joe Biden leads.

On Saturday, he tweeted: “Tens of thousands of votes were illegally received after 8pm on Election Day Tuesday, totally and easily changing the results in Pennsylvania and some other thin states.
“As a separate matter, hundreds of thousands of votes were not illegally allowed to be OBSERVED.
“This would ALSO change the outcome of elections in numerous states, including Pennsylvania, which everyone thought was easily won on Election Night, only to see a massive advantage disappear, without anyone being able to OBSERVE, for long intervals of time, it. what happened. “
Trump continued his tirade, tweeting: “Bad things happened during those hours when LEGAL TRANSPARENCY was not brutally and crudely allowed.
“The tractors blocked the doors and the windows were covered with thick cardboard so that observers could not see inside the tally rooms. BAD THINGS HAPPENED INSIDE. BIG CHANGES WERE MADE!
Twitter was quick to flag Trump’s tweets, saying, “Some or all of the content shared in this tweet is in dispute and could be misleading about an election or other civic process.”
The president’s unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud and illegal voting came as Biden leads in four of the six states that have yet to be declared: Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania.

The outcome of the US presidential race is still unknown four days after the elections while the vote counting process continues.
The delay in issuing a verdict can be attributed to high turnout, a large number of mail-in votes, and slim margins among candidates.
There is intense focus on Pennsylvania, where Biden leads Trump by more than 28,000 votes, and Nevada, where Biden is above 22,000.
