US Elections: Trump Says He Won, But Election Was Rigged
Incumbent President Donald Trump is leading in several critical states, including Florida (29 votes), Georgia (16 votes), Texas (38 votes), Ohio (18 votes), Michigan (16 votes), and Wisconsin (10 votes), Fox News projected.
Democratic nominee Joe Biden is leading in Pennsylvania (20 votes) and North Carolina (15 votes).
Fox News says Trump has won in Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, South and North Dakota.
Trump’s rival, former Vice President Joe Biden is leading in Illinois, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Colorado, New York and Columbia.
The voting process in the western part of the US is not yet over.
"Exit poll data from across the United States is giving a glimpse into voters' priorities and an indication of how different demographic groups have cast their ballots. The figures suggest the proportion of total voters who are white has fallen by six percentage points on 2016, while remaining the largest group by ethnicity. The proportion of white voters backing Mr. Biden has risen by five points on Hillary Clinton's figure at the last election but Mr. Trump still takes the largest share of this group, the preliminary polling suggests. Meanwhile, Mr. Biden appears to have gained support among the under the 30s and the middle-aged," BBC reports.
In an early-morning address to the nation on November 4, Donald Trump said he will go to the Supreme Court to stop all vote counting.
Trump said he “won the election, but all of a sudden it was just called off.”
“This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment to our country,” he stressed in a press statement.
“We were getting ready for a big celebration. We were winning everything, and all of a sudden it was just called off. We’ll be going to the US Supreme Court, we want all voting to stop. We don’t want them to find any ballots at 4 o’clock in the morning and add them to the list.”
Under US law, receiving mailed ballots continues for several more days.
