Thousands of people gathered around the Freedom Plaza building near the White House on December 12. Some fights occurred between the crowd of protesters and the protesters’ protesters, according to AFP. The police work to prevent the groups from fighting each other.

At least 6 people were arrested on December 12 and 5 people were arrested the day before for being involved in the skirmish.

Some protesters who supported Trump even dressed up as combat soldiers and shouted the slogan “within four years” for the soon-to-be discharged president.

“We will not give up. I think there is a great injustice against the American people,” a protester named Luke Wilson told AFP.

The protesters did not explain why they thought the 3.11 presidential elections were fraudulent.

Republican Senator disagrees with President Trump, passing defense bill

To date, all states have certified Democratic President-elect Joe Biden’s victory with 306 electoral votes, far exceeding the required 270, compared to Trump’s 232. Voters will gather in 50 states and in the capital, Washington, DC, on the same day December 14 to vote.

However, like President Trump, protesters denounce popular vote fraud. Some protesters said that “there is a foreign intervention.” Others point out that vote counting software has eliminated millions of popular votes for President Trump.

Additionally, President Trump has yet to acknowledge Biden’s victory despite the ongoing transition of power.

“Thousands of people are gathering in Washington DC to stop election theft,” Trump commented on Twitter.

That same day, the United States Supreme Court rejected the lawsuit initiated by the Republican Party in Texas. In the lawsuit, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked the Supreme Court to cancel election results in four battlefield states: Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to Reuters.

This is the latest failure in a series of demands by Trump and Republicans to reverse the election results, but most have been rejected by the state court.
