US President Donald Trump is again making unsubstantiated claims of impropriety in the counting of ballots in key battleground states, as the continued tallying of ballots shows his Democratic challenger Joe Biden inching closer to victory in the 2020 race.
In a series of tweets, Trump claims “hundreds of thousands of Votes were illegally not allowed to be OBSERVED” and that this was responsible for the disappearance of his election night lead in states such as Pennsylvania, where the counting of mail-in ballots has put Biden ahead by over 28,000 votes.
“Bad things took place during those hours where LEGAL TRANSPARENCY was viciously & crudely not allowed,” he says. “BAD THINGS HAPPENED INSIDE. BIG CHANGES TOOK PLACE!”
Shortly after Trump puts out the tweets, Twitter labels them potentially “misleading,” requiring users to click to read them.
