As soon as many media stations have called Joe Biden as President-elect, many jokers believe that it is all over for President Donald Trump.
No, it is not over until December 14. That’s when the states certify the counted ballots.
President Trump has already pushed allegations of voter fraud with potential evidence in the courts of some swing states, including Pennslyvania and Wisconsin.
In 2000, there were legal challenges for 37 days until the Supreme Court of the United States of America heard the matter and decided to stop the counting, and George W Bush became the President.
The strange thing about this is, in 2000, it was just one state of Florida. This time the US is going to have legal challenges in multiple states. People could witness recounts in the contested states.
Could this be another 2000? Of course, it is going this way. Just consider President Trump’s refusal to concede the election to Joe Biden.
He said this election is far from over.
“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over,” Trump said in a statement.
“Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor.
Trump alleged that the GOP’s legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process in Pennsylvania.
“Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor.
In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media,” he said.
Trump said the American people are entitled to an honest election which is the only way to ensure that the public has full confidence in the US election.
“Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American people are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election,” he said.
Trump expressed shock over Biden’s push for counting fraudulent ballots cast by ineligible or dead voters.
“It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters.
Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the courtroom – and then fight in court to block their access,” he said.
“So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands,” Trump said.
To conclude, the courts decide the elections, not the media. The people will accept the legal outcome, not the declaration by fake news and innuendo.
