On Thursday, November 5, President Trump has once again demanded an end to the counting of ballots in the race — after his gap with Biden in Pennsylvania and Georgia began to rapidly narrow, forcing opponents to go head to head in both states.
“Stop counting!” The incumbent tweeted this morning, as polling officers across the country continued to count ballots, many of which arrived in the mail, to determine the outcome of the election.
«If the ballots came after election day, they will not be counted,» Trump added later in another tweet, which the social network marked as «misleading.»
STOP THE COUNT!

Some states have extra days to receive ballots sent by voters. In particular, these include the vacillating Pennsylvania and North Carolina, where ballots sent before election day are accepted for another three and nine days, respectively.
Trump's campaign has already filed lawsuits in three states — Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan — challenging the counting process. The incumbent also wants to get a recount in Wisconsin, where Biden got about 20,000 votes, citing «reported violations.»
All of the recent Biden claimed States will be legally challenged by us for Voter Fraud and State Election Fraud. Plenty of proof — just check out the Media. WE WILL WIN! America First!

On Thursday, he tweeted that he would require litigation in all states that Biden recently announced victory in, allegedly over «vote fraud.»
