President Donald Trump’s campaign has tore into opponent Joe Biden’s campaign for allegedly attempting to steal the election in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, complaining they’re being barred from monitoring the count.
The Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit against the governments of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, former New York Mayor and Trump legal adviser Rudy Giuliani revealed on Wednesday, tearing into state governments for supposedly engaging in fraud “unlike any [he had] ever seen.”
Trump legal adviser and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani declared victory on behalf of the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania as he denounced the alleged voter fraud in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, claiming both states had engaged in massive voter fraud using mail-in ballots.
The campaign filed lawsuits in both states regarding voter fraud, Giuliani said, pointing to both states’ refusal to allow Trump people to observe the counting of ballots – “for 20 hours” in Philadelphia.
Giuliani marveled at how “not a single Republican has been able to look” at ballots in Philadelphia, noting “we have a reputation for dead people voting” and people had historically been “bussed in” across the New Jersey border from Camden” in order to cast ballots. He complained that over 100,000 ballots had “mysteriously” appeared in the early-morning hours not only in Pennsylvania, but in Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada.
[Ballots] could be from Mars, as far as we’re concerned.
Calling the stonewalling “among one of the most anti-democratic things i’ve ever seen or encountered,” Giuliani slammed the mail-in voting process in general, noting that both parties legally have the right to observe the ballot-counting process and that the media establishment has historically called it “highly suspicious” – at least “when it didn’t apply to President Trump.” Yet Republican poll-watchers were kept “20 or 30 feet away, never able to see the ballot itself,” he said.
It wasn’t just Pennsylvania, Giuliani continued, suggesting a lawsuit was also pending against the state of Wisconsin, arguing that areas where Democratic challenger Joe Biden had gotten “60 to 70 percent of the vote” were not legitimate. “This was a concerted effort on behalf of the crooks that run the Democratic Party,” the former prosecutor said, accusing the Democrats of “dumping” tens of thousands of “fraudulent” ballots to bolster their candidate.
“We’re going to continue the lawsuit here, we’re going to bring a second one, and…quite possibly, we’ll do a national lawsuit and really expose the corruption of the Democratic Party,” Giuliani said, insisting he’d “never heard” of a situation in which over 80 percent of the votes had been counted and the vote hadn’t been called for the apparent winner.

The Biden campaign feels they have a clear path to 270 electoral votes, with both Arizona and Nevada leaning blue, plus wins projected in both Wisconsin and Michigan. Ed O’Keefe reports.
Our source inside the TCF Center in Detroit, Michigan continued to send us updates throughout the day.
From earlier reporting — State election leadership are preventing GOP poll watchers in downtown Detroit at the TCF Center from entering the former Cobo Center due to claims of COVID.
There was a GOP watcher at nearly each table in the center by late morning.
But after lunch break that all changed. Detroit officials blocked GOP poll workers in to the center after they went to lunch.
Police were called.
Our contact says the Democrat operatives are very hostile and threatening.
Vote counters with BLM masks and racial justice clothing are allowed into the center but GOP observers were blocked from entering.
Police were then called to block the entrance!
We previously posted video of a poll watcher unable to obtain the COVID requirements the Democrats were relying on to prevent Republican poll watchers in the room where the ballots were being counted:
Now this…
There is now video of Detroit election workers cheering every time a GOP election monitor was removed from the TCF Center today.
They were cheering!
My wife just sent this video of Detroit election workers cheering every time a @migop attorney is removed from the TCF Center, where absentee ballot counting is happening. She says they do this every time they eject a GOP poll watcher & that Dem watchers outnumber GOP 3:1. pic.twitter.com/Sx1aHCoChY
Protesters are hitting the streets in multiple cities, including New York City, Philly and Chicago, calling for every single vote to be counted. Mola Lenghi takes a look.
As the vote count ground on Wednesday in an excruciatingly tight presidential race that seemed to be moving inexorably against him, President Trump took to the courts in an increasingly desperate effort to challenge the results.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is inching closer to the presidency — a dramatic swing after early returns in the last 24 hours appeared to favor President Trump. Major Garrett has the latest.
The Trump campaign has filed lawsuits to stop the vote count in both Michigan and Pennsylvania. The campaign is demanding access to the vote counting sites, and they want to review each ballot. Paula Reid reports.
North Carolina is unlikely to complete its total vote count for the presidential election until November 12, when it plans to begin counting 117,000 outstanding mail-in ballots, according to its state election authorities.
It became clear in the morning after the election that the winner might be decided after a long battle involving lawsuits and other demands by both presidential campaigns.
for posterity
god bless the united states of america
We have claimed, for Electoral Vote purposes, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which won’t allow legal observers) the State of Georgia, and the State of North Carolina, each one of which has a BIG Trump lead. Additionally, we hereby claim the State of Michigan if, in fact,…..
