Trump says election officials are part of ‘corrupt Democrat machine’

President Trump asserts that in Wisconsin, Georgia, and elsewhere, he won the states “by a lot,” but that his victory is now being “whittled down.”

“We’ll not allow the corruption to steal the election,” he says. Results are being manufactured.

He repeats his claim that Democrats are “trying to steal an election, they’re trying to rig an election.”

“Democrats never believed they could win the election honestly,” he says, falsely claiming that millions of ballots for Biden have been “sent out.”

He says, without evidence, that election officials are part of a “corrupt Democrat machine” and are accepting votes without requiring “any identification whatsoever.”

He claims election officials in states such as Pennsylvania are “trying obviously to commit fraud” and keeping observers from overseeing the tabulation process.

Trump says people who are being banned from observing the vote count “are very unhappy and become somewhat violent.”
