Terwijl president Trumps voorsprong in staten als Pennsylvania, Georgia en Arizona langzaam terugloopt omdat veel per post uitgebrachte stemmen uit Democratische gezinde gebieden nog moeten worden geteld, slaat de president wild om zich heen. Hij claimt dat er illegale stemmen werden meegeteld om de verkiezing van hem te stelen. Nieuwsmedia onderbraken hun uitzending om de president te corrigeren en ook Republikeinse politici namen hier afstand van.

There is no defense for the President’s comments tonight undermining our Democratic process. America is counting the votes, and we must respect the results as we always have before. No election or person is more important than our Democracy. https://t.co/BOO2iaTsEf

Every legal vote should and will be counted – as they always are. Where there are issues there are ways to address them. If anyone has proof of wrongdoing, it should be presented and resolved. Anything less harms the integrity of our elections and is dangerous for our democracy.

We want every vote counted, yes every legal vote (of course). But, if you have legit concerns about fraud present EVIDENCE and take it to court. STOP Spreading debunked misinformation… This is getting insane.
