In yet another rant meant to undermine the 2020 election and the fact that former Vice President Joe Biden is on the cusp of victory over him, President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Saturday morning to spew lies about mail-in ballots.
Biden is currently leading in Pennsylvania by nearly 30,000 votes thanks to hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots that were received on or before Election Day. Similar scenarios are playing out in Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona, where mail-in ballots are still being counted and overwhelmingly favor Biden.
More desperate than ever, Trump raged at the results in Pennsylvania and other states such as Michigan and Wisconsin where he had been leading on Election Night prior to the absentee ballots ruining his expectation of victory.
Tens of thousands of votes were illegally received after 8 P.M. on Tuesday, Election Day, totally and easily changing the results in Pennsylvania and certain other razor thin states. As a separate matter, hundreds of thousands of Votes were illegally not allowed to be OBSERVED…

….This would ALSO change the Election result in numerous States, including Pennsylvania, which everyone thought was easily won on Election Night, only to see a massive lead disappear, without anyone being allowed to OBSERVE, for long intervals of time, what the happened…

….Bad things took place during those hours where LEGAL TRANSPARENCY was viciously & crudely not allowed. Tractors blocked doors & windows were covered with thick cardboard so that observers could not see into the count rooms. BAD THINGS HAPPENED INSIDE. BIG CHANGES TOOK PLACE!

People were screaming STOP THE COUNT & WE DEMAND TRANSPARENCY (As Legal Observers were refused admittance to count rooms)! https://t.co/CW1tivI45c

The problem is that there were Republican and Democratic observers in all of these places and there is no evidence of fraud. In fact, this is the most observed and transparent election in history. The reason why election officials decided to cover windows in Michigan was to prevent unruly pro-Trump protesters from taking unauthorized photos and videos of the proceedings, which is live-streamed. Doors were also blocked because the protesters were trying to force their way inside. Plus, the protesters were clearly a distraction and poll workers were already under enough pressure.
Again, Republican and Democratic observers were present during the counting despite what Trump claims. As for the votes received after 8 P.M. on Tuesday in Pennsylvania, those are provisional ballots that have been separated since they were received. They have not yet been counted, therefore, these ballots have had no impact on the race.
It’s clear that Trump intends to continue sowing chaos as his chances of winning re-election dwindle. And it’s time for Twitter to suspend or delete his account for repeatedly violating the rules.
