President Donald Trump says the Democratic Party is trying
to rig the 2020 US presidential election in favour of candidate Joe Biden.
Speaking at the White House on Friday morning (Nigerian
time), the president said election officials are part of a “corrupt Democrat
machine”.
“There’s tremendous litigation going on, and this is a case
where they’re trying to steal an election. They’re trying to rig an election
and we can’t let that happen,” Trump said on Friday.
“Detroit and Philadelphia, known as two of the most corrupt
political places anywhere in our country easily, cannot be responsible for
engineering the outcome of a presidential race, a very important presidential
race.
“This was
unprecedented in American history. This was by design. Despite years of
claiming to care about the election security, they refuse to include any
requirement to verify signatures, identities, or even determined whether
they’re eligible or ineligible to vote.
“People are walking in there, they have no idea. They just
take in the numbers. They’re writing down things, the workers, and doing a lot
of bad things. And we have a lot of information coming and litigation that
you’ll see that will shake even you people up, and you’ve seen it all.
“The officials overseeing the counting in Pennsylvania and
other key states are all part of a corrupt Democrat machine that you’ve written
about.
“I went to school
there and I know a lot about it. It hasn’t changed since a long time ago and
hasn’t changed. It has gotten worse.”
TRUMP: COUNT LEGAL
VOTES, I EASILY WIN
Trump said if “you count the legal votes, I easily win. If
you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us”.
“In Pennsylvania, Democrats have gone to the State Supreme
Court to try and ban our election observers and very strongly,” the president
added.
“Now we won the case,
but they’re going forward. They don’t want anybody in there. They don’t want
anybody watching them as they count the ballots, and I can’t imagine why.
“There’s absolutely no legitimate reason why they would not
want to have people watching this process, because if it’s straight, they
should be proud of it. Instead, they’re trying obviously to commit fraud.
There’s no question about that.”
ELECTION OBSERVERS
‘USING BINOCULARS TO MONITOR POLL’
Trump, who is trailing Biden with over four million votes,
said election observers have been sent far away from the voting process that
they have to use binoculars to monitor the poll.
“In Philadelphia, observers have been kept far away, very
far away. So far that people are using binoculars to try and see, and there’s
been tremendous problems caused.
“They put a paper on
all of the windows so you can’t see in, and the people that are banned are very
unhappy and become somewhat violent.”
Trump alleged there was “historic election interference from
big media, big money, and big tech”.
MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNBC, and NBC cut away from his speech
stating that the president was peddling falsehood.
Biden tweeted after Trump’s speech that “no one is going to
take our democracy away from us. Not now, not ever”.
“America has come too
far, fought too many battles, and endured too much to let that happen,” he
said.
Trump is still 56 electoral votes away from the 270-mark of
victory, while Biden is only six votes away from becoming the 46th president of
the US.
